ABSTRACT:
An attachment for a shovel or similar tool relieving the worker of the back muscle and vertebral strain normally attendant with shoveling. The shovel aid features an elongate stem pivotally attached to the shovel handle, so that the material being shoveled may be loaded upon the shovel head, lifted, and carried sideways to be deposited, all without lifting forces upon the shovel by the hands, and without curvature of the back and spine. The shovel lifting aid may be used also with snow shovels, hoes and the like.
