The present invention is concerned with a two-handled shovel for use in lifting or moving heavy loads, such as snow. The present invention comprises a snow shovel having a second handle assembly pivotally attached to the blade of the shovel. The assembly is an inverted U-shaped element having two legs and a handle grip.

The second handle assembly further comprises a mechanism for adjusting the length of the legs to suit the person using the shovel.
