FAQs

What materials can this shovel handle?

The Red Gorilla Multi Shovel is designed for a wide range of materials including manure, bedding, soil, compost, leaves, feed, mulch, gravel, and snow.

Is this shovel suitable for professional use?

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

How does the ergonomic design help?

The ergonomic shape and lightweight construction reduce strain on the user's arms and back, improving balance and control, which is beneficial during longer tasks.

Will the plastic crack or warp in extreme weather?

No, the shovel is constructed from heavy-duty plastic that is UV- and frost-resistant, designed to withstand various weather conditions without cracking, bending, or warping.

Can I use this shovel for extremely heavy-duty digging, like breaking rocks?

While durable, this shovel is designed for moving and clearing materials. For tasks involving breaking rocks or extreme prying, a metal shovel with a reinforced edge might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the shovel?

The shovel is easy to clean. Simply rinse it with water after use. For tougher dirt, a damp cloth and mild soap can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.

Does the shovel absorb odors?

No, the plastic material is non-absorbent and resistant to odors, making it ideal for tasks involving manure or other strong-smelling materials.

Troubleshooting

Shovel appears to be bending under heavy load.

Ensure the load is evenly distributed within the scoop. While strong, extreme, concentrated prying or lifting of very heavy, dense materials may exceed its intended design limits. Redistribute the load or use a tool specifically designed for such heavy-duty tasks.

Dirt or residue is difficult to remove.

Use a hose with moderate pressure or a damp cloth. For stubborn spots, a mild dish soap can be effective. Rinse thoroughly afterward.

Shovel left outside in freezing temperatures.

The shovel is frost-resistant. However, avoid striking hard, frozen ground with excessive force to prevent potential chipping. Allow it to warm slightly if it has been exposed to extreme cold for an extended period before strenuous use.
