Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Ultimate Shavings Fork is an essential tool for stable owners and yard managers who require a professional-grade implement for daily mucking out. Designed for efficiency, this fork features a specialized narrow head that excels at sifting through both wood shavings and pellet bedding, significantly reducing manual labor. While its lightweight construction offers superior ergonomics, users should note that the 95cm total length is optimized for standard stall heights and may feel different to those accustomed to longer, heavy-duty wooden-handled forks.

FAQs
Is this fork suitable for straw bedding?
While it can be used for straw, the narrow tine design is optimized for shavings and pellets and may not be as efficient as a traditional wide-tine hay fork.
Does the aluminum shaft rust?
No, the aluminum construction is highly resistant to rust, making it ideal for use in high-moisture stable environments.
How long is the handle?
The total length of the fork, including the head, is 95cm.
Can I replace the head if it breaks?
The KM Elite Ultimate Shavings Fork is designed as a cohesive unit. For best performance, replace the entire tool if significant structural damage occurs.
Is this tool heavy?
No, it is specifically designed with a lightweight aluminum shaft to minimize fatigue during daily chores.
What is the primary benefit of the narrow 31cm head?
The narrow head allows for precise cleaning and better maneuverability in small or confined stall areas.
Troubleshooting
Tines becoming slightly misaligned
Due to the flexible nature of the plastic, you can gently bend the tines back into their original position by hand at room temperature.
Build-up of dust and debris on the shaft
Wipe the aluminum shaft with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could strip the protective coating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fork comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use straight out of the box. No secondary setup or fastening is required. To ensure the longevity of your KM Elite fork, follow these maintenance tips:
- Storage: Always hang the fork by its head or store it vertically when not in use. Avoid leaving it flat on the ground where it can be stepped on or run over by vehicles.
- Cleaning: After use in particularly damp or acidic manure, rinse the head with fresh water to prevent potential corrosion of the metal finish.
- Inspection: Periodically check the connection point between the head and the aluminum shaft for any signs of loosening; if detected, ensure the fixings are tightened securely.
- Compatibility: This tool is designed primarily for shavings and pellets; it is not recommended for moving heavy, long-stemmed straw or thick hay, as the tine spacing may become clogged.
