2. Dump material:Steel scraps are usually stronger and more durable, but they are also heavier and subject to corrosion. Some shovels are made from a combination of steel and polyethylene to combine the advantages of both materials, shovels can have a steel frame with a polyethylene blade or coating. Consider the type of surface the dump will be used on and choose the material that best suits those conditions.
