Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this cover on a road with heavy traffic?

No. This product is specifically rated for footpath applications and 17-tonne loads. It is not designed for heavy commercial vehicle traffic or high-speed roadway use.

What is the warranty period?

The product includes a 2-year guarantee from the date of installation, provided it has been correctly selected and installed according to specifications.

What materials are used in the construction?

The cover is made of galvanised steel, while the frame is constructed from durable, high-strength polypropylene.

Is the cover waterproof?

The unit features a single seal design intended for environmental protection, which helps prevent odor and water ingress, but it is not intended to be a hermetically sealed pressure vessel.

What are the exact dimensions?

The cover measures 600mm x 450mm with a height (depth) of 25mm.

Troubleshooting

Cover feels unstable or rocks when walked on

The bedding material under the frame has likely failed. Re-seat the frame into fresh mortar to ensure full contact with the sub-base.

Cover is difficult to lift

Debris has likely built up in the frame seal. Clean the perimeter gap thoroughly and apply a light silicone lubricant if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High structural integrity with 17-tonne capacity
Corrosion-resistant materials for outdoor longevity
Effective single seal to manage environmental factors
Reliable manufacturer backing with a 2-year guarantee
Lightweight but durable composite frame design

Cons

Not suitable for high-traffic roadway use
Requires professional installation for load-bearing certification
Fixed rectangular dimensions may not suit non-standard openings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper installation is vital for the longevity of the product. The frame should be level with the surrounding finished surface to avoid creating a trip hazard. When installing, use a high-strength mortar or bedding compound to support the polypropylene frame uniformly.

Compatibility: This model is strictly for footpath applications. Do not use in high-speed traffic zones or areas subject to heavy industrial vehicle loading.

Care: Periodically clear debris from the edges of the frame to ensure the cover can be easily lifted for maintenance. While the galvanized steel is corrosion-resistant, cleaning it with a non-abrasive brush once a year will help maintain its finish.
