Ampco S-82FG Scooping Shovel Aluminum Bronze 9 Inch

Product Description

The AMPCO S-82FG is an aluminum bronze scooping shovel built for hazardous and sensitive work environments where non-sparking and non-conductive tools are required. The square blade measures 9 inches wide and 11 inches tall, paired with a 58-inch straight fiberglass handle for full-length reach. At 5.8 pounds, it delivers solid material-moving performance without the ignition risk of ferrous tools. This shovel is designed for use by tradespeople, maintenance crews, and industrial workers operating around flammable materials, explosive atmospheres, or energized equipment.

This scooping shovel is suited for industrial, petrochemical, mining, utility, and facility maintenance applications where spark-free tooling is required by safety protocol or regulatory standard. The straight handle and square blade profile are well matched to bulk material handling tasks such as moving granular or powdered materials in confined or hazardous locations. The fiberglass handle provides electrical insulation as an added safety property alongside the non-sparking blade material.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use non-sparking scooping shovel for industrial and hazardous-location material handling applications requiring aluminum bronze tooling.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for hand tools of this type. Before use, inspect the blade-to-handle connection for looseness or damage that could affect control during operation. In regulated hazardous locations, verify that the tool meets the site-specific safety classification requirements before deployment. Follow all applicable site safety protocols and personal protective equipment requirements when working in flammable or energized environments.
