SB3001-B Aluminium Alloy Shovel 78cm Short Handle
The SB3001-B is a short handled aluminium alloy shovel for digging and moving snow, soil and gravel in confined space where a full length shovel cannot be swung. It suits hardware and garden distributors, vehicle and equipment operators and site crews who need a scoop that stores in a vehicle or a tool locker but still moves a real load. The aluminium alloy head is W9.8″ (25cm) by H10.6″ (27cm) at HB60-69 hardness, on a Dia28 by 450 by 0.5mm steel handle for a 30.7″ (78cm) overall length. SONJUN produces it under buyer branding and supplies it on container programmes with sample orders accepted first.
- 78cm length works inside a trench, a wheel arch or a vehicle where a 138cm handle has nowhere to go
- Full size 25 by 27cm head means the short handle does not cost you load per lift
- Aluminium alloy head keeps the tool light enough to work one handed in awkward positions
- HB60-69 head hardness holds the blade edge in gravel and packed snow
- Aluminium resists the corrosion that scraps a steel scoop kept in a damp vehicle or shed
- OEM branding and packaging available for distributors and fleet programmes

Application Scenarios

- Grounds staff clearing snow from steps, doorways and narrow entrances

- Fleet, rental and roadside assistance operators
- Facility and property maintenance teams
- Retail chains carrying a garden and winter range
Problems It Solves
- Long handled shovels are unusable in a trench, a wheel arch or a doorway recess
- Compact shovels usually shrink the blade as well as the handle, so the operator moves less per lift
- Steel scoops stored in a damp van rust at the blade within a season
- Heavy short shovels are tiring to use one handed in awkward stances
- Buyers stocking both snow and garden tools can cover both applications with one part number

How It Compares
Against Garden shovel aluminum alloy SB3001-G
The SB3001-G runs to 138cm for upright work over distance. This model uses the same head on a 78cm handle for confined space.
Against Lightweight retractable aluminum alloy shovel SB3001-I
The SB3001-I telescopes between 73 and 90cm and adds a brush and scraper for vehicle use. This is a fixed 78cm shovel with no accessories.
Against Metal ice shovel SB3006
The SB3006 has a hardened 45# steel head at HRC42-52 for chopping ice. The aluminium head here is for moving material, not breaking frozen ground.
Use Guide
- Grip near the head for control when working in a confined space
- Slide the blade along the surface to load rather than stabbing at compacted material
- Do not use the aluminium head as a pry bar against frozen or compacted ground
- Rinse soil and de-icing salt off the head after use
- Check the handle joint at the start of each season and store the tool dry
