Trench Shovels
Comprehensive Trench Shovel Line-Up
HISCO proudly offers four styles of trench shovel blades to accommodate the various needs of underground, irrigation, industrial and utility users.
- Hisco's Clean-Out blade, available in 3-inch and 4-inch widths, is specifically designed for trench clean-out and features a flat blade and 60 inch high-angle handle. This blade is not heat treated and should not be used as a digging tool.
- Hisco patented TACO (Trench And Clean-Out) Tool and Hisco new TACO Lite feature a revolutionary design that combines all of the features of a trench shovel and clean-out shovel. Available in 3-inch and 4-inch widths, this design features vertical sides for greater material retention, an improved heel for secure foot placement, closed back to eliminate material build up, and a flat bottom for clean cuts and complete trench clean-out. Hisco original TACO Tool™ is made of a heavy 12 gauge steel and has a 40 degree handle angle. Hisco new TACO Lite™ has the same design features as Hisco original TACO Tool™ but is made of a lighter 16-gauge high carbon heat treated steel to reduce head weight while maximizing strength. The handle angle is 35 degrees and the tool comes in three handle lengths.
- Hisco's Step-Trench blade is made of 14-gauge high carbon heat treated steel and comes in 3-inch, 4-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch widths. The blade is the standard in the trench tool industry and is primarily used for digging.
- Hisco Classic trench shovel blade is the original design of trench blades and is available in 4-inch and 5-inch widths. This slightly rounded blade with no step can be used for digging and trench clean-out. No matter what your demands are, HISCO has the right tool for the job!
