BS8020:2012 is an exacting specification that our insulated shovels demands full adherence to detailed manufacturing and testing procedures for safe working practices to be maintained by the user when working on or in close proximity to live conductor cables.
Every single insulated shovel is flash tested to 10,000 Volts and printed with a BS8020 1000 Volt logo and issued with a certificate. This makes every insulated shovel totally traceable and guaranteeing full conformity to live live cable working specifications.
Our insulated shovels are doubly protected by twin layers of polymer sheathing which gives excellent protection against high voltage and abrasion. A specially integrated collar prevents the users hand slipping onto the blade of the insulated shovels.
We have a great range of different tools in our insulated shovel range. The taper mouth and square mouth shovels are used for backfilling trenches, concrete or tarmac mixing and general shovelling duties. The cable laying shovel has a narrow blade making it ideal for clay digging and heavy ground breaking work. This is similiar to the trenching shovel where the narrow blade is perfect for trenches where cables and pipe and being layed. The blade on the newcastle draining tool, sometimes referred to as a graft, is designed for digging deep holes, deep narrow trenches, cable channels, pipe channels or post holes.
New Safe Dig insulated shovels have now been introduced to our range. The purpose of the Safe Dig insulated shovels is to reduce the risk of penetrating hidden cabling. It achieves this by having double thick leading edges on the blade of the shovel. The Safe Dig insulated shovels are to be used as part of a safe working practice when potentially live underground services may be present.
