Abstract
A material handling device to be used on non-horizontal platforms such as roofs, hills, construction sites, and other sloped surfaces. The device is comprised of a large blade for collecting debris or other materials such as shingles. The blade connects to a first handle that hangs forwardly over the opening of the blade. This handle is meant to assist lifting by placing the handle over the center of gravity of the load in the shovel. The blade is also attached to an angle adjustment pivot assembly. The pivot assembly is attached to an elongated handle. The adjustment mechanism adjusts the angle between the blade and the shaft. At the first end of the shaft is an anchor assembly, comprising an anchoring pin. The anchoring pin can be hammered into the surface to secure the shovel from falling or slipping. The shaft is then connected at its second end to a second anchor. The second anchor comprises a second anchoring pin to be used in the same manner as the first, an end handle for manoeuvring the shovel, as well as a remote latch mechanism to control the angle between the blade and the shaft.
