Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Ultimate Telescopic Shavings Fork is an essential tool for stable owners and farmers who need a durable, ergonomic solution for managing wood shavings and pellet bedding. Its primary benefit is a telescoping handle that significantly reduces back strain by allowing for custom height adjustments, though users should note that the handle must be properly tightened and collapsed for storage to maintain its long-term integrity.

FAQs
What is the maximum length of the fork?
The shaft extends up to 115 cm.
Is this fork suitable for deep litter beds?
Yes, the robust design is well-suited for turning over heavier bedding materials like deep litter.
How should I store the fork?
Always collapse the shaft fully and store in a dry location to prolong the life of the handle and locking mechanism.
Can I use this for muck heaps?
While it is designed for sifting bedding, the durable head can handle general mucking duties, but avoid using excessive force on frozen ground.
Why is the head flexible?
The flexibility is designed to help sift through pellets and shavings efficiently without breaking or snapping under pressure.
Troubleshooting
The handle slips during use
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully tightened; if it continues to slip, clean any debris from the inner locking threads.
Tines seem rigid or stiff
Thoroughly rinse the head with fresh water to remove any buildup that may be restricting the flexible plastic material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your fork, simply twist the locking mechanism on the shaft to adjust the length to your desired height, then tighten firmly until secure. The fork is compatible with most standard stable bedding types, including wood shavings, straw pellets, and wood pellets. To keep the tool in peak condition, rinse off any debris or organic matter after each use, especially if it has been exposed to moisture. Always collapse the shaft to its 75 cm position when not in use and store the tool in a dry, shaded area to prevent the aluminium from weather-related wear and to protect the locking mechanism.
