SHOVEL & TOOL HANDLE BROCHURE Contents 2 Richard Carter Ltd History 4 Shovel & Tool Handles Explained 6 Shovels 8 Contractors & Telecommunications Tools 28 Garden & Agriculture Tools 38 Handles 44 Striking Tools Jeremiah Carter established the Company in Highburton in 1740. Business flourished, and in 1850 Jeremiah's great, great grandson, Richard Carter, relocated the Company to Dene Works in Kirkburton, which was to become our home for the next 150 years. Soon after Richard Carter Ltd was incorporated in 1909, World War I broke out and demand for tools increased dramatically. Indeed, history repeated itself several years later when World War II placed even greater demand on our services. The 1970s saw the beginning of the decline of the Nationalised Coal and Steel Industries and this forced us to seek new markets. This was so successful that, despite many alterations to the Kirkburton premises during the 1980s, we outgrew Dene Works and in 1999 we moved again to Neiley Works in Honley. The new premises gave us the opportunity to embrace state of the art manufacturing techniques which, combined with our heritage, enabled us to innovate our product design and enhance quality. It has been three centuries since our founder, Jeremiah Carter, had the vision and courage to start his Company. The Carter family, are proud of the fact that we still own and run Richard Carter Ltd. We are prouder still of the people who work here and how far we have come together. Some may see tradition and innovation as unlikely bedfellows, but for us they are what we stand for. Richard Carter Managing Director SHOVEL & TOOL HANDLE BROCHURE THE ORIGINAL HAND TOOL MANUFACTURER SHOVELS With 275 years of manufacturing experience, Richard Carter Ltd has become synonymous with shovels of quality and strength, whilst offering customers value for money. ‘The Carter Shovel’ is available in a variety of styles and sizes, finished with handles which complement the tool, made from wood, metal, fibreglass or plastic. SHOVEL & TOOL HANDLES EXPLAINED 4 THE ORIGINAL HAND TOOL MANUFACTURER SHOVEL & TOOL HANDLE VARIETIES Richard Carter Ltd tools are manufactured in a wide variety of sizes, materials and types which should be specified at the time of ordering. Open Socket Solid Socket Open Socket Shovels are used for moving loose earth, sand, gravel and grain Solid socket tools have their blades and sockets hot, double roll formed from one etc. They are hot-pressed from pre-cut sheets of either hot rolled heavy gauge single piece of best quality steel. The socket is forged as an integral part of the Carbon Steel or Aluminium sheet. They are not primarily designed for digging blade (with NO welds) and this type of tool is readily identified by the fact that or levering. This type of shovel is easily identified as Open Socket by the fact the handle fits into a ‘blind’ socket – this is the most popular range. Solid socket that the end of the handle (normally wood) can be seen protruding through the tools are preferred for heavy shovelling out, or back-filling trenches, mixing bottom of the pressed socket. concrete, tarmac and ballast work.

  • The Broadfork

    The Broadfork

    The BroadFork Many gardeners and growers, especially those working on heavy soils, face the difficulty of deeply compacted soil and want to loosen and aerate it without bringing lower layers to the surface. On a field scale there are tractor-based solutions, but how to tackle the task in the smaller plot? The BroadFork is designed to be at least part of the solution! (The Glaser Bio cultivator (414) has the same objective.) Here are some of Eliot Coleman’s comments from his book The New Organic Grower:– “This two-handled deep tillage tool is known by different names, but broadfork comes as close to describing it as any other. Like most agricultural tools its genesis surely dates far back in agricultural history. It consists of a 2-foot wide spading fork with a 5-foot-long handle at either side of the fork. The teeth on the fork are spaced 4 inches apart and are about 12 inches long . The tines are designed with a parabolic shape and curve down from an attachment point at the back of the crossbar. This difference is the key. The parabolic curve . works with an easy, rolling motion. As the handles are pulled down, the tines curve under and lift the soil easily. “The broadfork is held with the handles tilted slightly forward of vertical. It is pressed into the soil as far as possible by stepping on the crossbar, then the two handles are pulled back towards the operator in an easy rocking motion. The broadfork is then lifted from the loosened soil, the operator steps backwards 6 inches, and the manoeuvre is repeated..

Therefore, authors address to design a device for those situation. Authors focus on unique approach of “human-powered hybrid” method combining merits of human-power and machine-power. In this paper, we made this approach clear as a design method, which suggest 3 policies: choose a heavy equipment suitable to targeted work, apply human-power to each work process, and consider usability. And we apply these policies to new device for removing earth-and-sand under floor as a specific situation. Then we designed and constructed it that can excavate while switching human-power or machine-power. Users can operate it semi-automatically without pre-training, and can operate it in safety not to fall over by incorporating mechanical and electrical structures. Finally, we conducted performance experiments and confirmed that the device could work efficiently not only with human-power but also with machine-power.

    4.4.27 Ivy, Hedera Helix

    4.4.27 Ivy, Hedera helix Summary Ivy is widespread throughout Britain and a component of mixed scrub communities. Being shade tolerant, it will ramble over and under stands of scrub. Where it compromises interest by suppressing regeneration of scrub and herbaceous flora, then management will be required. Distribution and status Ivy is a common plant throughout the whole of Britain and grows on all but the most acidic, very dry or waterlogged soil up to altitudes of 610 m. It is very tolerant of shade and will flourish in the darkest of closed canopy scrub. Identification Flowers: Sep–Nov; Fruit: Dec–Feb. Ivy will climb as well as sprawl over the floor. The stems have fine sucker-like roots that adhere well to any surface. The young stems are downy. The smooth glossy green leaves are darker above and have pale veins. The leaves of non-flowering stems have 3–5 triangular-shaped lobes. On flowering shoots, the leaves are oval to elliptical. Ivy on scree slope.

  • A Look at Wildland Firefighting Tools Fighting a Wildfire Safely Means

    A Look at Wildland Firefighting Tools Fighting a Wildfire Safely Means

    Tools of the Trade – A Look At Wildland Firefighting Tools Fighting a wildfire safely means using the right tools for the job. There are a variety of wildland firefighting hand-operated tools in use today. Wherever water sources are available, heavy fire hoses with nozzles are hard to beat when it comes to suppressing wildfires, or most fires for that matter. But away from roads, fire engines and water tenders, using water to fight wildfires becomes more challenging for firefighters on foot. There are many portable water pumps today. Some float… others can be easily carried from place to place…even drafting from shallow and muddy water sources. These two-stroke pumps are made for demanding use on the fireline. The heaviest pumps are usually taken apart when carried from place to place. Fire hose comes in rolled sections of 50 and 100 feet, and in different sizes. In places where a water source is minimal or far from the firelines, conserving water with smaller diameter fire hoses is best. Away from roads, water pumps and hose supplies are delivered by helicopter, boats, even airplanes dropping paracargo. And where fire hoses can’t reach, collapsible bladder bags with hand- operated nozzles are a big help. Whether using water or not, wildland firefighters carry an array of tools to saw…chop…dig… swat…and scrape vegetation away from the flames. In many places, firefighters will construct a narrow path around the fire’s perimeter, free of vegetation. This ‘fireline’ prevents flames from spreading on the ground, as crews work to encircle the fire.
