The Carters Treaded Spade Poly Fibre Insulated BS8020 is a professional-grade digging tool engineered for demanding groundworks where safety, strength and compliance are essential. Manufactured by Richard Carter Ltd, this spade is certified to BS8020:2011, making it suitable for live working environments where electrical hazards may be present.
The spade features a 28” Shocksafe polyfibre insulated handle, providing excellent electrical insulation while maintaining durability for repetitive, heavy-duty use. The handle is designed to reduce fatigue during long working days, making it ideal for utilities, highway maintenance, fencing, tree planting and construction work.
Its 7.5” x 11.5” steel blade delivers efficient soil penetration across compacted ground, clay, turf and backfill. Integrated foot treads improve control and reduce slip when applying downward force, allowing safer and more efficient digging in all weather conditions.
Weighing approximately 2.4kg, this insulated spade offers the perfect balance between robustness and manoeuvrability. Built for longevity, it performs reliably across farms, estates, infrastructure projects, roadside works and urban tree planting schemes where compliance and operator safety cannot be compromised.
