Features
- Non‑sparking, chemical‑resistant design: Polypropylene blade with steel support provides a lightweight, rust‑ and corrosion‑resistant solution for spill response, hazmat cleanup, and bulk material handling
- Two‑piece construction with locking mechanism: Both models feature a quick‑lock, two‑piece design that can be disassembled for storage and redeployed rapidly.
- Standard D‑Grip handles: Ergonomic D‑Grip for control when shoveling heavy debris or saturated absorbents; 39" D‑Grip on 6892SS and ~41" D‑Grip on 6900SS.
- Color‑coded green: High‑visibility green color supports scene organization and tool segregation.
- Anti‑static agent (large blade line): The 6900‑series is commonly listed with an anti‑static agent for reduced surface charge—useful around flammable vapors
What is it?
These industrial safety shovels are purpose‑built for hazmat response, spill control, and environmental cleanup, combining a polypropylene blade and steel support with an ergonomic D‑Grip handle. The 6892SS uses a medium‑width blade (10.2") for general use, while the 6900SS uses a large‑width blade (13.8") to move bulkier materials efficiently.
How is it used?
- Deploy at spill scenes to scoop and transfer contaminated absorbent, debris, sludge, and soils into overpacks or salvage containers.
- Use the D‑Grip and reinforced blade to maneuver heavy, wet material while reducing user fatigue.
- After use, unlock the two‑piece handle, rinse, and stow in spill kits or apparatus compartments.
Who uses it?
- Fire/Rescue & Hazmat Teams conducting spill containment and decon support
- Industrial EHS and Public Works crews handling material handling and environmental cleanup
Maintenance Information
- Rinse with water and mild detergent after exposure to chemicals; allow to dry before reassembly/storage. (Chemical‑resistant polypropylene and steel construction supports repeated cleanup cycles.)
- Disassemble via the locking mechanism for compact storage and to inspect the joint/fasteners.
- For static‑sensitive zones, confirm local procedures when using anti‑static‑treated versions
What is it used with?
Frequently paired with spill kits, absorbent pads/booms, overpack drums, salvage containers, and other hazardous materials response equipment for site remediation and transfer.
What material is it made from?
- Blade / Body: Polypropylene (non‑sparking, chemical‑resistant)
- Internal Support / Handle Support: Steel
