Product Information
Full details
The KM Elite Ultimate Shavings Fork is an essential tool for stable owners and equine enthusiasts looking for a lightweight, durable solution to daily stall maintenance. Specifically engineered for pellet bedding and smaller tasks, this tool features a narrower 31cm head width and a 95cm total length for optimal maneuverability. While its compact design excels at precision work, those managing extremely large, deep-straw stalls may find the smaller head width requires more passes to clean effectively compared to traditional wide-head forks.

FAQs
Is this fork suitable for straw bedding?
While it can be used for straw, the narrow head width is specifically optimized for pellets and fine shavings. For deep straw stalls, a wider fork may be more efficient.
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 single cohesive unit; please contact your retailer for specific spare part availability.
Is the aluminium shaft rust-proof?
Aluminium is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for the damp environment of a stable.
How do I store the fork?
Store it in a dry, sheltered location. Avoid leaving it out in extreme weather to maximize the lifespan of the materials.
Troubleshooting
Tines feeling loose
Check the connection point at the base of the handle and ensure no hardware has vibrated loose from heavy use.
Material sticking to the tines
Periodically wipe the tines down with a damp cloth to remove sticky organic matter or debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This fork is shipped ready for immediate use. To maintain the longevity of the tool, avoid using it to pry up heavily compacted or frozen bedding, as this can place excessive stress on the tines. Clean the head after use to prevent the buildup of ammonia and debris, which can degrade the finish over time. Store the tool in a dry, covered area away from direct sunlight when not in use to ensure the materials remain in top condition.
