Frequently asked questions about the Snow shovels, snow ploughs, ice crampons category
What are Snow shovels, snow ploughs, ice crampons and what are they used for?
Snow shovels, snow ploughs, ice crampons are tools for removing snow, clearing paths and breaking ice. Hand shovels like ALPINUS ALUTUBE 55 cm or TERRA 45 cm suit manual clearing, snow ploughs and snow blowers (e.g. LUMEFREES ALPINA AS 62P 62 cm) handle larger areas, and ice axes/crampons (GARANT NORDIC 17.8 cm) are for hard ice and compacted snow.
Which shovel should I choose for clearing a pavement 1–2 hours per day?
Choose a lightweight aluminium or plastic shovel 45–55 cm wide such as TERRA 45 cm or ALPINUS ALUTUBE 55 cm; they balance low weight with enough blade width for efficient snow removal during daily use.
How do manual shovels differ from battery and petrol snow blowers?
Manual shovels (ALPINUS, TERRA, TRUPER) need physical effort and suit small areas; battery models (SCHEPPACH BC-SNB400-X 20V) are cleaner and good for medium areas; petrol snow blowers (ALPINA AS 62P, SCHEPPACH ST720E 72 cm) deliver the most power for large areas and heavy, compacted snow.
What blade width is best for a driveway and garage area?
For a driveway and garage area choose 56–76 cm widths: models like LUMEFREES AMBITION SF 76E 76 cm or ALPINA AS 62P 62 cm clear large areas quickly; for manual work 45–61 cm (TERRA, TRUPER) is usually sufficient.
Which ice axes/crampons are suitable for home use and how do handles differ?
Compact ice tools with ~17.8 cm head like GARANT NORDIC 17.8 cm suit home use. Handles come in wood or metal: wooden handles offer comfort and shock absorption, metal shafts are lighter and more durable.
Is the TRUPER 61 cm shovel suitable for wet heavy snow?
The TRUPER 61 cm with an ergonomic handle and sturdy edge is suitable for wet, heavy snow if the user has sufficient strength. For very dense drifts a mechanical snow blower is more effective.
Which electric or battery models suit a small yard?
For a small yard choose battery or electric models such as SCHEPPACH BC-SNB400-X 20V or DAEWOO DAST3000E 2000W 51 cm; they are compact, quieter than petrol machines and convenient for regular clearing.
Which models are best for playgrounds and play areas?
For playgrounds choose lightweight, safe plastic or aluminium child-sized shovels like LUMELABIDAS LASTE ALU with rounded edges and ergonomic handles to minimise injury risk.
What engine size range do the petrol snow blowers have and what does that provide?
The catalogue includes petrol snow blowers with engine sizes roughly 196 cm3 to 302 cm3 (e.g. SCHEPPACH ST570 196 cm3, SCHEPPACH ST720E 302 cm3). Larger displacement provides more power to clear deeper, compacted snow on bigger areas.
Is the LUMEFREES AMBITION SF 76E 76 cm suitable for a country house with loose snow?
The LUMEFREES AMBITION SF 76E 76 cm with a 76 cm clearing width is well suited for country houses and loose snow; the wide auger clears paths and driveways quickly without many passes.
Which tools in the category are suitable for removing ice from paths?
Ice removal requires ice axes and dedicated scrapers/ice tools like GARANT NORDIC 17.8 cm and shock-absorbing models. They feature sharp edges for breaking ice and a comfortable shaft for controlled strikes.
Which shovel material is best for contact with road and paving surfaces?
For asphalt and paving choose plastic or aluminium blades with a protective edge, as they scratch less than pure steel shovels. Metal-edged models work well for heavy snow but require care on delicate surfaces.
Can garden shovels in the catalogue be used to clear fresh snow around a car?
Yes, many garden shovels (FISKARS, GARANT, TRUPER) are suitable for quickly removing fresh snow around a car; choose a 35–53 cm wide model for manoeuvrability and a durable edge for frequent use.
