Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Ultimate Shavings Fork is an essential tool designed for equestrian professionals and stable owners who prioritize efficiency and durability in their daily yard maintenance. By combining a lightweight aluminium shaft with a highly resilient, flexible head, this fork makes mucking out stalls less physically taxing while remaining effective across various surfaces, including wood pellets and traditional shavings. While it offers superior maneuverability, users should be mindful that the high-performance flexible plastic head, while durable, requires proper storage away from extreme freezing temperatures to prevent material fatigue over time.

FAQs
Is this fork suitable for straw bedding?
While it is optimized for shavings and pellets, the wide, flexible head works effectively for standard straw bedding.
Can I leave the fork outside in the winter?
It is strongly recommended to store it inside, as extreme cold can make the head material brittle and susceptible to cracks.
What should I do if a tine breaks?
While the head is highly durable and flexible, spare parts or replacement heads can often be sourced through authorized KM Elite retailers if a severe impact occurs.
Is the aluminium handle rust-proof?
Yes, the aluminium construction is naturally resistant to rust, even when exposed to damp stable environments.
How long is the shaft?
The shaft is designed to standard industry lengths, providing optimal reach and leverage for the average adult user.
Troubleshooting
Tines feel stiff or less flexible
Ensure the fork is stored at room temperature; extreme cold can temporarily stiffen the specialized polymer.
Shaft feels loose in the head
Check the mounting screws at the base of the handle and tighten them with a standard screwdriver.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The fork arrives ready for immediate use, requiring no complex assembly. To maintain the structural integrity of your KM Elite fork, store it indoors or in a sheltered tack room during the winter months, as prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures can make the specialized polymer head more prone to cracking. Periodically inspect the connection point between the head and the aluminium shaft to ensure the fastening hardware remains secure. If you are cleaning out particularly heavy or wet bedding, avoid 'levering' or prying with the tines, as this applies excessive torque to the material. Simply lift the weight using the center of the head.
