All About It
The Garant APSS22 Sleigh Shovel is built for those heavy snow days when a standard shovel just isn’t enough. With a 23-1/2-inch wide poly blade, a steel wear strip for durability, and a robust steel handle with an ergonomic grip, this heavy-duty sleigh shovel makes clearing large areas of compacted snow much easier. Designed for occasional winter use, it’s ideal for driveways, sidewalks, parking areas, and longer stretches where you’d rather push than lift.
Why You'll Love It
- Wide Blade Means Fewer Passes: The 23-1/2″ blade width lets you move more snow with each push, saving time and effort.
- Durable Construction: Poly scoop resists cracking in cold weather, and the steel wear strip helps cut through compacted snow and ice.
- Comfortable Handling: Ergonomic grip and long steel handle give you leverage and less strain during snow removal.
- Reliable for Occasional Use: While tough, it’s sized and engineered for homeowners or light commercial use rather than industrial snow-plowing.
How to Use It
- Position the shovel at the edge of the area you wish to clear, with the blade flat against the surface.
- Use your body weight to push the snow forward—let the wide scoop gather the snow for you.
- If you encounter compacted or icy zones, gently rock the blade or use the wear strip edge to break it up.
- After clearing, lift the blade slightly to deposit the snow to the side or a designated snow pile.
- After use, store the shovel in a dry, sheltered area to prolong the life of the poly blade and steel handle.

Additional Resources
- For best results, pair this sleigh shovel with good winter boots and traction, and clear snow early before it becomes hard-packed.
- If snow becomes icy or deeply compacted, follow up with a proper ice scraper or snow plow—this shovel performs optimally when pushing rather than digging deep into heavy ice.
- To maximize life of the tool, rinse off salt and ensure the poly blade is kept free from prolonged UV exposure or storage at elevated temperatures.
- Check for available replacement handles or blades from the manufacturer if damage occurs—Garant often offers parts or warranty support.
For large driveways, lengthy sidewalks, or home-owner snow removal where efficiency counts, the Garant Sleigh Shovel offers the width, durability, and comfort you need to clear winter quickly and confidently.
