What implement have you find is the best for shifting large piles of cut

Currently I use a large snow shovel, which is ok if its very fresh and
loose, and you have a reasonably firm base to scoop off. However the
moment it starts to compost it becomes difficult to "get under" in and
lift a whole scope at a time. I was wondering if a long handled pitch
fork would be a better choice?

(mainly for moving it a few yards from where the mower can drop it, into
a bigger compost pile in the corner)

I've always used a grass rake.
