FAQs

What materials can the Red Gorilla Multi Shovel move?

It's ideal for moving bulky or fine materials such as manure, bedding, leaves, compost, feed, soil, and snow. Its design is optimized for volume rather than extreme weight.

Is the shovel suitable for professional use?

Yes, it is built with high-quality, heavy-duty plastic designed to withstand daily wear and tear, making it suitable for both professional and domestic users.

How do I clean the Multi Shovel?

The shovel is easy to clean. Simply rinse it with water or wipe it down with a damp cloth after use. It does not absorb moisture or odors.

What are the dimensions of the shovel?

The shovel measures approximately 143cm in height and 43cm in width.

Will this shovel rust or corrode?

No, the Multi Shovel is constructed from heavy-duty plastic, which is resistant to rust and corrosion, as well as UV and frost.

Can this shovel be used for digging in hard ground?

While it can move loose soil, its plastic construction is not designed for heavy-duty digging into compacted or hard ground, which may damage the edge. It is best suited for moving loose or bulk materials.

Does the shovel absorb smells?

No, a key feature is that it won't absorb moisture or odors, making it hygienic for various applications.

Troubleshooting

Shovel appears to be flexing under heavy load.

Ensure the load is distributed evenly within the scoop. The shovel is designed for bulky rather than extremely dense or heavy materials. Avoid attempting to pry or lever heavy objects with the edge.

Material sticking to the scoop.

While the plastic is designed to be non-stick, very wet or sticky materials may adhere slightly. A quick rinse with water after use should remove most residue. Ensure the shovel surface is clean before use.

Shovel has been left outside in extreme temperatures for extended periods.

Allow the shovel to return to ambient temperature before use. While frost-resistant, extreme, prolonged cold can make plastic more brittle. Similarly, prolonged intense UV exposure can degrade plastic over time, though this shovel has UV resistance.

Pros and Cons

  • Ergonomic and lightweight design reduces user fatigue.
  • Easy to clean and does not absorb odors.
  • Cost-effective due to its multi-functional nature.

Cons

  • The large size may require significant storage space.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Red Gorilla Multi Shovel is ready for immediate use upon delivery. No assembly is required.

Compatibility: This shovel is designed for general outdoor use and is compatible with most common outdoor materials. It is suitable for use on various surfaces including soil, gravel, pavement, and stable floors.

Care: To maintain the shovel's condition:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, rinse the shovel with water or wipe it down with a damp cloth. The non-absorbent material makes cleaning simple. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic.
  2. Storage: Store the shovel in a dry place. While it is UV and frost-resistant, prolonged extreme exposure can still affect longevity. Hanging the shovel by its handle is an effective storage method.
  3. Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage, although the heavy-duty plastic is designed for durability.
