A flat shovel as opposed to a spade shovel should be kept on board the tow truck for use in cleaning up crash debris. This is another tool in which some consideration should be applied. A traditional flat headed shovel is usually pretty easy to stow, however the benefit that comes with a snow shovel can save time and effort when cleaning up large accident scenes. It really just depends on how much space one can dedicate to this particular tool. Another thing to consider when choosing a shovel is its durability. A strong, reliable shovel should be considered due to the stress of not only stowing the shovel, but using it out in the field.
