Bulldog Insulated Treaded Round Mouth Shovel

The Bulldog Insulated Treaded Round Mouth Shovel is a heavy-duty contractor's tool designed for safe excavation work near underground services. This insulated shovel combines robust construction with essential electrical safety features, making it ideal for groundworkers, utilities contractors and construction professionals working in environments where striking buried cables poses a risk. Forged from a single piece of steel with an epoxy paint coating, this shovel offers excellent protection against corrosive substances whilst maintaining structural integrity. The rounded blade design minimises the risk of penetration damage to underground pipes and cables during excavation work, whilst still providing effective performance when digging through hard ground, moving earth, sand and other loose materials. The integrated treads enable greater force application whilst protecting footwear from wear, and the one-piece heavy-duty fibreglass YD handle provides both strength and electrical insulation. Manufactured to BS8020 standard, each shovel is individually tested to 10,000 volts and guaranteed to 1,000 volts, with a Certificate of Conformity supplied for compliance verification.
