Harold Moore was the first manufacturer, worldwide, of the polymer shovel. Provided it is well designed and made from top quality materials, not only is a polymer shovel cooler and lighter to handle, it is often much stronger than the traditional wood and metal alternative.
To prove this, a test was carried out with a 40-tonne truck running over a Harold Moore polymer shovel with the result that the shovel remains usable even after such treatment.
The range developed, with the company using its engineering background and expertise, moving into innovative materials, including electrostatic dissipative polymers and metal detectable products, which it has been making and perfecting for over a decade.
When a polymer is subjected to heat and pressure, its structure is changed. There is no guarantee that the finished product will be compliant, even if the raw materials are.
Harold Moore's shovels, forks, scoops, paddles, stirrers, etc for food contact and hygiene uses are manufactured not only from approved materials, but the finished product has also undergone tests at an independent laboratory, obtaining the necessary certification, thus proving absolute compliance with EU and FDA norms.
