The “1-way” cable layer shovel is ideal for use when laying single pipes or cables. Its narrower blade means that you do not need to dig out extra material unnecessarily just to ac commodate the width of the blade.This is part of the Carters Shocksafe range and is insulated for live working applications. As part of its BS8020 specification, it also offers protection when live cables carrying up to 10,000V are accidentally struck. The handle is specifically designed to insulate the user from the blade, minimising the risk of electric shock. This is especially important given the application that this specific shovel is used in, where it is not uncommon to be working around existing buried utilities.The blade of this Shocksafe cable layer shovel is forged from a single piece of steel and features integrated treads. These treads reinforce the blade, meaning it can be made lighter without weakening the shovel; they also increase the surface area so that foot pressure can be applied to increase digging performance and comfort.
