Our multi-purpose shovel features a 14-gauge steel blade, 27" thick wall fiberglass handle with a poly D-grip that has a solid fiberglass core at the head-to-handle connection. This shovel features a bonded soft polyurethane tip to help prevent damage to the surface being cleared, as well as prevent the scoring of expensive snowcat hydraulic shafts during cleaning. This shovel is great for cleaning off groomers, surface lifts, and lift terminals.
