Dozer 3D Shovel
Our ovo-concave shaft, low-profile stompable blades, and wide range of cored-out handles make BCA shovels stronger, lighter, and more packable than ever before. This new line is inspired by our legendary D-2 EXT “Dozer” shovel. It’s so popular among our core followers, we’ve named our entire new line after it! BCA was the first to create an avalanche shovel with a non-round shaft to prevent breakage while prying. We’ve taken our groundbreaking oval design and added a concave radius on both sides to make it even stronger, without adding weight. Like a high-end lacrosse stick, this shape also enables better grip in the palm, reducing slippage while shoveling. All BCA extendable shovels are certified to the UIAA 156 standard for avalanche rescue shovels.
Please see our avalanche shovels resources section below for shoveling videos, FAQs, and instructions for use.
NOTE: The Dozer 3D avalanche shovel does not fit in the shovel compartment of BCA Float or Stash packs.
