Snow Shovels



Do you recollect the wintry conditions last year, and just how difficult it was to get anywhere? The majority of people were somewhat ill prepared for the amount of snow that fell, and the range of equipment and ideas that were utilised to clear the snow and ice were endless, and most not very good!  From people using cardboard to clear freshly laid snow, through to boiling water from kettles and table salt to remove ice most appeared to be reasonably unsuccessful.

But using a little forward thinking and planning may well avoid this kind of situation happening this year, if forecasters are to be believed with their talk of another harsh winter to look forward to.  With a vast range of snow shovels now available for clearing snow from paths, drives and patios there are many different types of snow shovels for sale, with different styles to suit almost any condition and budget.

Snow Clearing Equipment


Snow Shovels and Ice Breakers are designed to reduce the hazard you face when wintry conditions hit, by giving you the correct equipment to clear snow and ice effectively.
Ice BreakerAn Ice Breaker is not expensive to buy, but is simple to use and very effective.  Designed to break ice and compacted snow, they are perfect if the snow around you has been left and trodden in.  Ice and trodden in snow can be particularly dangerous, and so by utilising this tool, you can help to remove the imminent danger of slips and falls quickly and easily.  Once an Ice Breaker has been used to break it all up it can be simply removed with the aid of a Snow Shovel.

Folding Snow ShovelPlastic Snow Shovels come in a wide range of sizes and shapes dependent on the job they are expected to do.  From a simple budget Aleco Snow Shovel through to the top of the range Alpinus Snow Shovel featuring a thermal protective shaft cover and aluminium shaft, a snow shovel offers an effective efficient solution to keeping areas around your home or business snow free! With such a wide range of Snow Shovels available it is worth considering a couple of points before you finally decide on which shovel you think is for you.

Think about how big the Snow Shovel is you need.  Some Snow Shovels are very large and whilst offering quick snow removal they can prove to be a little too heavy for some people.  Wide shovels are too wieldy in certain areas around the home, on paths or around the vicinity of the car for example.  Size is important, however sometimes a smaller shovel will suffice for some conditions.

Emergency Snow ShovelSnow Shovels come with a variety of different handles from simple wooden handles to aluminium shafts with covers on. Make sure you can comfortably hold the handle and the shovel feels balanced in your hands.

This year as winter appears on the horizon the motto has to be, be prepared.  By investing in an ice breaker and a snow shovel early you can be sure you are as prepared as you can be.
