1,Cast Iron Manhole Cover Description :

Manhole covers are often made out of cast iron, concrete or a combination of the two. This makes them inexpensive, strong, and heavy, usually weighing more than 50 kilograms (110 lb). The weight helps to keep them in place when traffic passes over them, and makes it difficult for unauthorised people not having suitable tools to remove them.

2,Main Features of the Ductile Iron Manhole Cover:

1. High load capacity & resilience

Hardness is same as cast iron, while FRP manhole covers have overwhelming advantages on resilience recovery. They are designed to exceed A15/B125/C250/D400 load capacity, according to EN124: 1994.

2. Designed structure & pressure dispersion

Arc-shaped bottom structure allows the pressure they bear disperse averagely on the whole surface. Besides, the products are made not by SMC, it was put in several layers of fiber cloth to enhance the structures. So they are stronger than SMC composite manhole covers.

3. Long service life

Strong resistance of acid, alkali, weathering, anti corrosion of water, dust, manhole covers used for gas are well sealed which prevent poisonous gas leaking.

Temperature tolerance is at the range of -40°C-200°C.

4. Customer design

FRP manhole covers allow customers’ innovative design, logo, or etc. we have our own design team who can also offer design work for customers.

 5，FAQ:

We have organized several common questions for our clients，may help you sincerely：

Q. Can I fit a square manhole cover into a round chamber?

A. Yes, there are a select few manhole covers which are square-to-round, meaning they will fit square or round chambers. 

Q. I have a heavy traffic manhole cover but it has been broken by a forklift, why?

A. Forklifts have solid wheels which apply pressure differently to standard pneumatics and therefore covers must be specially adapted to suit this.

Q. I’ve measured my clear opening size but none of your covers match it, can you offer anything?

A. It’s likely that your cover is quite old and in imperial measurements which are no longer manufactured. However, we can offer bespoke solutions with manhole covers made to the specification you require.
