FAQs

What materials can this shovel be used for?

The Red Gorilla® Multi Shovel is suitable for a wide range of materials including manure, bedding, soil, compost, mulch, leaves, feed, grain, and snow.

Is this shovel suitable for very cold weather?

Yes, the shovel is frost-resistant and designed to be used in winter conditions for tasks like snow clearing. However, extreme prolonged exposure to sub-zero temperatures is not recommended.

How do I clean the shovel?

Simply rinse or wipe the shovel clean with water after use. A damp cloth is usually sufficient. Ensure it is dry before storing.

What are the dimensions of the shovel?

The dimensions are approximately 143cm in height and 43cm in width.

Can this shovel be used for heavy-duty construction?

While durable, this shovel is designed for general outdoor tasks. For heavy-duty construction work involving sharp rocks or abrasive materials, a metal-bladed shovel might be more appropriate.

Will the plastic crack or break easily?

The shovel is constructed from high-quality, heavy-duty plastic designed to resist cracking, bending, and warping under normal use conditions.

Does the shovel absorb odors?

No, the material is designed to be resistant to moisture and odors, making it easy to keep clean and fresh.

Troubleshooting

Shovel appears to be bending under heavy load.

Ensure you are distributing the weight evenly and not attempting to lift excessively large loads in a single scoop. The shovel is designed for efficiency, not brute force lifting of the maximum capacity.

Material sticks to the scoop.

Ensure the shovel is clean and dry before use. For particularly sticky materials, a light coating of silicone spray (ensure it's safe for intended use environment) can help, or simply try to wet the material slightly before scooping.

Handle feels uncomfortable during use.

Adjust your grip to utilize the ergonomic design effectively. Consider wearing gloves for added comfort and grip, especially during prolonged tasks.
