A shovel is a lever. it has a handle, and one hand sets a fulcrum with the load set opposite the hand that is not the fulcrum. It might be argued that the leading edge of the shovel is a wedge making your shovel a compound machine, but that's cutting things fine.
This would be a compound machine. An example would be a winch, which is usually a pulley/fulcrum combo.
An electric motor is not a simple machine, because it uses electric energy, which is not mechanical energy, which powers simple machines.
