Pulling Shovel Rockforce RF-STR-30 — towing and pulling tool, steel construction

The Rockforce RF-STR-30 pulling shovel is a towing and pulling tool with a steel construction designed for controlled leverage and durability. Its reinforced shaft and robust steel blade make it suitable for pulling, prying and light excavation tasks where mechanical advantage and a compact profile are required. The tool is intended for field operations including vehicle recovery, landscaping, construction and utility work, providing a single-handed or two-handed grip option depending on the task.

Advantages

The steel blade and reinforced shaft deliver reliable mechanical leverage and resistance to bending under load. Its compact form factor and balanced weight enable precise force application for pulling roots, prying loose components or creating footholds in soil. The simple, durable construction minimises maintenance needs and withstands repeated use in outdoor and workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Vehicle recovery and traction assistance
• Pulling roots, stumps and embedded objects
• Prying and levering components during repair or assembly
• Light digging, trenching and soil displacement
• Landscaping and site preparation tasks

Key specifications

• Construction material: steel blade and reinforced steel shaft for strength and durability
• Tool type: pulling shovel designed for towing, pulling and prying operations
• Form factor: compact, hand-operated with options for one- or two-handed use
• Primary functions: levering, pulling, light excavation and obstacle removal
• Suitable environments: outdoor fieldwork, workshops, construction sites and utility areas

How to use

Position the blade under or behind the object to be moved, ensuring a secure contact point. Apply steady, controlled force on the shaft while using the blade as a fulcrum for prying or levering operations. For towing or traction assistance, secure the tool against the vehicle contact surface and use measured pulls rather than sudden jerks. When digging or displacing soil, use short, controlled strokes to minimise tool stress and maintain user stability. Inspect the blade and shaft for damage before and after heavy use.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety boots. Avoid exceeding the tool's mechanical limits by combining leverage with gradual force; if a load does not move with reasonable effort, reposition the blade or use additional equipment. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent surface corrosion and perform periodic checks for straightness and weld integrity.
