This #8 steel scoop with a D-grip handle is the one to put in the truck when the material is heavy. Ballast stone, wet gravel, and saturated tear-off debris will fold an aluminum blade but a steel scoop handles it without flexing. The D-grip handle gives you the leverage and control to work in the tight spots on a commercial roof deck.
Commercial roofing contractors choose the steel scoop over aluminum when the job is a gravel ballast roof or a wet tear-off where the material weight adds up fast. The #8 size hits the right balance between capacity and control for most commercial roofing applications.
