Bulldog Insulated Treaded Trench Shovel

The Bulldog Insulated Treaded Trench Shovel is a heavy-duty contractor's tool designed specifically for safe excavation work near underground utilities. Forged from a single piece of steel with an epoxy paint coating, this trench shovel delivers exceptional durability and protection against corrosive substances commonly encountered on construction sites.

The rounded blade head is specifically engineered to dramatically reduce the risk of penetration damage to buried pipes and cables, making this shovel essential for contractors working around existing services. The integrated treads provide dual functionality, enabling you to apply greater force when digging whilst simultaneously protecting your boots from wear.

Built to meet BS8020 standards, this insulated shovel is individually tested to 10,000 volts and guaranteed safe for use up to 1,000 volts, with each unit supplied with a Certificate of Conformity. The one-piece heavy-duty fibreglass YD handle offers excellent electrical insulation properties combined with superior strength and reduced weight compared to traditional wooden shafts, making it ideal for utility contractors, groundworkers, and electricians working near live cables.
