Manhole Cover

Description

The temporary covers for manholes and handholes feature openings along the edge that are large enough to accommodate cables extending out of the hole, as well as two hand openings for easy transport, placement, and round manhole cover removal, making them very user-friendly. Splicing crews working inside splicing trailers beside a manhole often require additional fall-in protection for both the public and crew members, which is where manhole frames, also known as drain covers or access covers, come in. These frames are particularly useful for Utility Locators who need to connect their equipment to cables located in existing man or hand holes while leaving them unattended and unprotected.

We provide a range of manhole covers in various sizes to fit manholes of different sizes, including 24″, 28″, 32”, 36″, and 38″. For handholes, we offer temporary covers in two sizes: 24” x 36” and 30” x 48”. With our range of sizes, you can always find the right manhole cover for your space. To ensure your safety while working, consider using a round manhole cover.

Benefits

Safety: Round manhole covers reduce the risk of accidents or injuries by preventing tripping hazards that could occur with square covers. With no sharp corners, there are fewer points of contact for pedestrians or vehicles to catch on, reducing the chance of accidents.

Durability: Manhole covers made from high impact resistant polyethylene are sturdy and can withstand heavy loads and harsh weather conditions without cracking or breaking. They are also resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for use in areas with high moisture content.

Aesthetics: Manhole covers made from environmentally stabilized polyethylene resist fading and maintain their color over time, making them more aesthetically pleasing than other materials that may discolor or fade over time.

Lightweight and Portable: Round manhole covers made from polyethylene are lightweight and easy to transport, store, and handle. They can be quickly and easily removed and replaced as needed.

Custom Sizes: Custom-sized manhole covers can be made to fit the exact dimensions of any manhole or handhole, ensuring a perfect fit and maximum safety. This allows for greater flexibility in terms of usage and can reduce installation time and costs.

FAQ

Why are manhole covers round?
Manhole covers, also referred to as drain covers and access covers, are typically round in shape because this design eliminates the need for rotation. Unlike square or rectangular covers, round covers can be easily rolled or lifted in any direction without having to worry about aligning the cover with the hole. This makes it quicker and easier to access the manhole, and reduces the risk of injury to workers who may have to lift or move the cover. Therefore, the round shape is a practical and efficient choice for manhole covers.
