Medium leaf rake Habitat EPOCA 24050 for lawn and garden cleanup

A medium leaf rake with a 42 cm head and 21 tines, the Habitat Leaf Rake Medium from EPOCA gathers leaves, small branches and dried flowers. The fan-shaped head covers a useful sweep width without becoming unwieldy in planted beds. Tine flexibility lets the rake follow uneven terrain instead of skipping over hollows.

The same head works for two jobs. Light passes clear surface litter from paths and lawns. Firmer passes scrape turf and lift matted debris from the grass base. Spacing between the tines, combined with their spring, stops leaves and damp dirt from packing into the head. A registered community design sets a specific tine inclination that increases how much material each stroke collects. The head is moulded from a wear-resistant thermoplastic resin compound, so it stays usable in wet garden conditions.

Medium leaf rake Habitat EPOCA 24050: head layout and use

Sizing places this model between narrow bed rakes and wide lawn rakes. With 42 cm of working width, it suits small and medium plots, borders and lawn strips around buildings. The curved tine row keeps contact with the ground through the stroke. Operators can vary pressure to switch between surface sweeping and scraping without changing tools.

Head and tine geometry

Twenty-one tines are arranged across the 42 cm head in a fan pattern. Each tine flexes under load and returns to shape. That movement helps the rake ride over roots, stones and dips in the ground. The gap between tines releases collected material easily at the end of a stroke, which keeps clogging down during longer clearing sessions.

• Working head width: 42 cm
• Tine count: 21
• Flexible, resistant tines for uneven terrain
• Tine spacing limits dirt and leaf build-up
• Angled tines per registered community design for higher pick-up
• Suited to surface cleaning and turf scraping

The inclination of the tines is part of a registered community design. It positions the tips so that each pass drags more material toward the operator. For turf scraping, the flexible tines reach between grass blades and lift thatch. For surface work, a lighter grip keeps the tips skimming the ground and avoids tearing the lawn.

Material and construction

The head uses a special wear-resistant thermoplastic resin compound. That material does not rust, which matters for a rake stored outdoors or used on wet leaves. The compound also keeps the head light, reducing fatigue during repeated strokes. The moulded one-piece form avoids loose rivets or welded joints at the tine roots, a common wear point on metal fan rakes.

• Head material: wear-resistant thermoplastic resin compound
• Corrosion-free in damp garden use
• One-piece moulded head
• Light head mass for extended raking
• Recommended coverage: small and medium sized areas

Store the rake with the tines off the ground to preserve their set. Rinse the head after work with wet soil or sap, then let it dry before storage. Avoid using the tines as a lever against buried roots or heavy stones, since bending force concentrated on one tine goes beyond normal raking loads.

Common applications

Typical tasks include collecting fallen leaves from lawns, paths and driveways during autumn clearance. The rake also gathers small branches and dried flower heads after pruning. Gardeners use it to scrape turf and pull matted thatch out of grass before feeding or overseeding. The 42 cm width works well along borders, under shrubs and between raised beds. Grounds staff at schools, small parks and housing blocks use rakes of this size for routine seasonal cleanup.

Catalog data

Catalog text lists the Habitat Leaf Rake Medium for collecting leaves, small branches and dry flowers and for lawn clean-up. It names both superficial cleaning and turf scraping as intended uses. Stated features are flexible, resistant tines for uneven terrain, tine spacing that prevents sticking, a registered community design with inclined tines, and a wear-resistant thermoplastic resin compound. Stated size is 42 cm with 21 tines, recommended for small and medium sized areas.
