Ortovox The Beast Shovel

The Beast stands for maximum performance in any type of snow. The scoop vanishes into every touring backpack saving space and offers an optimal ratio between weight and maximum rigidity. The T-handle and sanded grip enable economic shoveling. The oval shovel shaft makes the Beast not only stiffer but also extremely resistant to breakage.

Telescopic shank

Telescopic shank: Due to the telescopic shank you get a better leverage while shoveling. At the same time the retracted shaft can be carried in any small Rucksack.

5161 aluminum

This type of aluminum is light and rigid and therefore the first choice for many of Ortovox’s shovel scoops.

Conical shank

The shovel shaft has an oval cross section. The failure characteristics are thus much higher than round cross sections. The same is true for the stiffness. The force transmission and thus the shoveling performance are much higher.

T-handle

The T-handle is ergonomically adapted to the human hand. The advantage of this grip is an economical shoveling process – so it is done faster and requires less effort.

Sanded grip

The shovel fits better in the hand by the sanded grip. Power is transferred to the shovel scoop directly, as the hand doesn\'t slip from the shaft.
