Full details

The manhole cover has a load weight capacity of 10 tonnes, suitable for pedestrian areas and light traffic.

Can this manhole cover be used on a driveway for cars?

It is designed for pedestrian areas. While it can handle up to 10 tonnes, it is not recommended for regular or heavy vehicular traffic that might exceed this limit.

What material is the manhole cover made from?

The cover is made of galvanized steel, and the frame is constructed from high-grade polypropylene.

How do I open the manhole cover?

You need to use the supplied SLK secure lifting keys. Insert them into the designated keyholes and lift the cover.

What is the depth of the recess for the paving?

The recess is 80mm deep, allowing for the infill of standard block paving or slabs.

What are the dimensions of this manhole cover?

The external dimensions of the frame are 600mm in length by 450mm in width, with a depth of 80mm.

Does this product come with a warranty?

Troubleshooting

Cover is difficult to remove or replace.

Ensure the correct SLK lifting keys are used. Check the recess and frame for debris or obstructions and clean thoroughly. Verify the paving infill is not protruding.

Water pooling around the manhole cover.

Confirm that the surrounding area has adequate drainage. Ensure the manhole cover itself is seated correctly and not trapping water.

Signs of corrosion on the steel cover.

Clean the affected area. For minor surface rust, an abrasive pad may be used, followed by a galvanizing repair paint or suitable metal primer and paint.

Paving infill has settled or become uneven.

The paving blocks/slabs may need to be reset. Carefully remove the cover, adjust the sub-base beneath the paving, and re-instate the infill to be level with the frame.
