The Carters Treaded Taper Poly Fibre No.2 Insulated BS8020 Shovel is a heavy-duty professional shovel engineered for demanding groundworks where electrical safety, strength and reliability are critical. Manufactured by Richard Carter Ltd, this shovel fully complies with BS8020:2011, making it suitable for live working environments such as utility installations, roadside works and infrastructure projects.
Equipped with a 28” Shocksafe polyfibre insulated handle, the shovel offers excellent protection against electrical hazards while delivering long-term durability for intensive daily use. The insulated handle is designed to improve user comfort and reduce fatigue during prolonged digging, making it ideal for contractors and site operatives.
The No.2 taper mouth blade is forged from a single piece of steel, providing exceptional strength, resistance to deformation and long service life. Integrated treaded steps on the blade improve foot grip and control, allowing safer and more efficient penetration into compacted soils, clay, backfill and disturbed ground.
With a balanced weight of approximately 2.4kg, this insulated shovel offers the perfect combination of robustness and manoeuvrability. Built to withstand rigorous working conditions, it is trusted across utilities, agriculture, landscaping, fencing and tree planting operations where compliance and operator safety are non-negotiable.
