Long Position

By extending the shaft and rotating the grip, you'll stand upright and use gravity and leverage to your advantage.
Just lean forward. Let the shovel do the work.
Your back and shoulders will thank you.

Short Position

Keep the shaft retracted and rotate the grip - you'll feel the pushing power.
Unlike traditional shovels, the Short Position places your shoulder and wrist in safe, neutral positions.
You'll finally use your body as it was designed.

In the Long Position, the D-Plus Grip's "wings" cup your shoulder, creating a comfortable and secure anchor point.
In the Short Position, the grip facilitates power and control.
Of course, you can use it like a traditional shovel, too, but what's the fun in that?

The simple design makes switching positions fast and intuitive.
The rock-solid, stainless steel plunger is extremely durable and locks the shaft and grip in place.
You'll quickly and easily extend, retract, and rotate on the fly.

Innovative chamfers guide the plunger into shaft rivets so you're never searching for the right spot.
The many shaft rivets allow the D-Plus Grip to be oriented at 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135° from square, and the shaft can be extended or retracted as desired.
Deep and precise rivets ensure you're locked in tight - until you're ready to switch positions.

U.S. Patent 10,161,092 protects the Lovell Shovel's Intellectual Property and allows IP licensees or purchasers to utilize a multitude of telescopic and rotational adjustment mechanisms.
The patent protects the utility of extension and rotation of a shaft and grip for the purpose of improving shoveling ergonomics, regardless of adjustment mechanism.
From the Simple Button Selector and Locking Shaft Rivets depicted in its current form, to collars, clamps, and cams, a Lovell Shovel Intellectual Property licensee or purchaser is free to innovate.
