Material
Carbon fiber is used across industries - aerospace, motorsport, sports equipment, and medical devices - because of its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio.
We use toughened epoxy designed to withstand impact, ensuring durability in demanding conditions. Our material composition is engineered to maintain performance even at low temperatures, so your shovel remains reliable in the harshest alpine environments.
The founders of LANK Technology studied Lightweight Design and Composite Materials, giving them deep expertise in how to harness carbon fiber's full potential. This knowledge shapes every shovel we build.
UIAA Certification
Our carbon fiber shovel is undergoing certification testing. We're committed to obtaining UIAA 156 certification before any unit ships to you, guaranteeing that every shovel meets rigorous performance and durability standards for real-world alpine conditions.
Shipping
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.

Collapsible telescope shaft
The collapsible telescope shaft packs down compactly and deploys in a single quick motion.
Straight Blade back
Want to check snow conditions? The straight shovel blade enables clean and precise snow cuts.
Built for demanding alpine missions, the LANK Carbon Avalanche Shovel focuses on one thing: reducing weight without compromising real rescue performance.
Using targeted carbon reinforcement only where forces actually occur, the shovel achieves high stiffness and durability at an ultralight weight of just 280 g. The reinforced leading edge improves resistance in hard and compact avalanche debris, while the optimized blade geometry ensures efficient force transfer and controlled handling during excavation.
Designed by engineers specialized in lightweight construction and composite materials, every detail follows a clear purpose: less unnecessary mass, better packability, and faster deployment when every second counts.
Compact in your backpack, ready in seconds, and engineered for demanding conditions in the mountains.
