Folding entrenching tool engineered as a rescue device for quick snow clearing, for example, after an avalanche—ideal not just for mountain search and rescue operations but also as essential gear for any service providing medical aid in challenging environments
During winter months, proves invaluable for setting up camp sites or constructing ramps for skiing and snowboarding. Its compact, foldable design ensures minimal space usage, making it an essential tool in winter—recommended not only for every vehicle (to escape snowdrifts) but also for every backpack on mountain excursions (easily carried inside or attached externally).
The shovel is comprised of three detachable parts: a broad aluminum scoop, a shaft, and a polypropylene handle. The shaft length can be adjusted and securely locked into three different positions with a plug socket.
Constructed from robust yet lightweight aluminum alloy, the scoop features a generously sized and contoured surface for maximum efficiency and swift snow removal. Scoop holes facilitate work in compacted snow and allow use as an anchor or small sled for transport. High-visibility orange coloring of the shovel ensures easy location in snowy conditions.
A T-shaped shaft handle, crafted from polypropylene, prevents hands or gloves from freezing during extended use.
A nylon carrying bag with Velcro closure is included, equipped with individual compartments for each component and a practical suitcase handle for easy transport.
