Designed for serious excavation, the Transfer shovel series offers the maximum rigid shaft extension in the Black Diamond shovel line.
The telescoping shaft of the Transfer has an optimized extended length. This allows for more efficient digging, conserving energy with its enhanced reach, and also minimises back pain associated with shorter shovels. It will not rotate as it features a trapezoidal design, rather than round, so can be assembled quickly without having to worry about getting the right bit in the right place. A foolproof mechanism - just press the spring-pin, pull the handle and it slides into place, locked and ready to load.
The lightweight blade is made from ultra-strong aerospace aluminum, perfect for shifting large quantities of snow fast.
It is slightly pointed to enable more effective chopping of hard, compact snow and the flat sides are ideal for backcountry travellers who might be digging snow pits or building caves that require smooth, even walls. The Transfer is a particularly good shovel for snow pack analysis.
The ergonomic "T & D" grip, unique to Black Diamond, is both glove and mitten friendly as well as allowing for maximum digging power with minimum energy loss.
The Transfer 7 has a larger blade than its little brother the Transfer 3 so you can move large quantities of heavy snow like a machine.
The shovel breaks down into three seperate pieces, the blade and two sections of shaft, and can be easily stored in most packs. Aside from avalanche rescue and skiing, this shovel is ideal for alpine climbers.
A super tough avalanche shovel, the Transfer meets the demands of mountain professionals and serious backcountry skiers.
