Stiffening ribs extend laterally outwardly from the attachment flange and cooperate to define recesses for the fastening means, one of the ribs receiving therethrough a transversely extending bolt for pivotally coupling a pair of handle brackets to the platform adjacent to the front end thereof, the handle brackets being secured to an upstanding handle and cooperating to bridge the foot of a user standing on the platform. The upper edge of the blade extends rearwardly beyond the rear end of the platform.
