Full-length colour coded ergonomic shovel for transferring ingredients and other suitable bulk materials in food production and hygiene-sensitive workplaces. Five colour options allow tools to be assigned clearly to different tasks or work areas
Colour Coded Ergonomic Shovels provide a full-length tool for transferring ingredients and suitable bulk materials in hygiene-sensitive workplaces. The 1035 mm design gives more reach than a hand scoop, while five colours help distinguish tools assigned to different tasks or areas.
Best Uses
Use this shovel when ingredients or other suitable bulk materials need to be moved between bags, containers, hoppers or processing points. Its full-length format is better suited to repeated material transfer and lower-level handling than the compact hand shovels used for smaller quantities.
Blade, Reach & Handling
The shovel is 1035 mm long with a blade measuring W 327 x L 271 x D 50 mm. This combination provides greater reach than a hand scoop while retaining a relatively compact blade for controlled loading and transfer. At 1.6 kg, it remains manageable when moving between work areas.
Practical Hygiene Outcomes
Assigning different shovel colours to defined materials, tasks or work areas makes equipment selection clearer for staff and supports established separation procedures. The one-piece polypropylene construction also avoids a separate blade-to-handle joint, simplifying routine cleaning.
✅ Clearer visual identification of the shovel allocated to a particular task or area.
✅ Fewer joined sections where product residue could otherwise be harder to remove.
✅ More consistent equipment separation when colour assignments are followed correctly.

Use & Care Guidance
Protect Colour Separation
❌ Do not move an assigned shovel between different materials or work areas without following your established cleaning and equipment-control procedure.
❌ Do not place a cleaned shovel on floors or other surfaces where the blade may pick up unwanted residue before use.
Choose the Right Shovel
❌ Do not assume the 327 x 271 x 50 mm blade is appropriate for every volume, container depth or material-handling task.
❌ Do not rely on colour coding alone as a substitute for cleaning, staff instruction or your wider hygiene controls.
Maintain Clear Allocation
✅ Define what each shovel colour represents and apply that allocation consistently so users can select the intended tool quickly.
✅ Clean the shovel after use and store it in its designated position away from surfaces or materials that could compromise the next task.
Frequently asked questions
What are Colour Coded Ergonomic Shovels best used for? They are suited to transferring ingredients and other suitable bulk materials between bags, containers, hoppers and processing points where colour-coded equipment separation is useful.
How does this differ from a compact hand shovel? At 1035 mm overall, this shovel provides considerably more reach than a hand-held scoop or short shovel, making it better suited to repeated material transfer and lower working positions.
Why are five shovel colours available? Blue, green, red, white and yellow options allow businesses to allocate different tools to particular materials, processes or work areas according to their own hygiene procedures.
What size is the shovel blade? The blade measures 327 mm wide by 271 mm long and 50 mm deep, giving a useful working area for controlled handling of bulk materials.
Does colour coding replace cleaning between tasks? No. Colour coding can help distinguish assigned equipment, but the shovel should still be cleaned and managed in accordance with your workplace hygiene and material-handling procedures.
