What is it made from?
Our manhole covers are made from plastic or cast iron, the plastic ones also containing steel reinforcement bars within for additional load-bearing ability.
What is the purpose of it?
Manholes are essential underground access points for septic tanks, sewer systems, electrical wiring, and other utility installations. To ensure safety and prevent unwanted access to these areas, manhole covers are the go-to solution. Vodaland's durable manhole covers are designed to fit perfectly and provide easy access when required. They come with an effective load class rating that can withstand:
Plastic manholes covers: heavy pedestrian traffic and lawn equipment.
Ductile cast iron manhole covers: vehicle traffic, and commercial equipment.
How does it open?
Whether you need round covers or square covers, Vodaland has got you covered with high-quality products designed for easy access and reliable performance. We offer both shapes of manhole covers, each with its unique opening mechanism.
Our square covers are designed to open easily by removing the 4 screws that hold each corner and lifting the lid off the frame. On the other hand, our round covers require the removal of a single screw and pulling it open around the hinge. The lid can then slide off the hinge entirely by holding it at a 5–15-degree angle. If you need to lock the manhole cover in a vertical position, opening it to a 90-degree angle will do the trick.
It's important to note that opening the manhole beyond that point will leave it open, but not locked in position.
How do I install the cover?
The manhole cover has many bolt-down spots on its edge to secure it to whichever area it is covering. From there, customers can silicone seal the frame to the ground beneath to prevent any possibility of leaks. Lastly, you then encase the frame and cover in surrounding aggregate or concrete.
Can the reinforcement bars in the middle be removed?
Yes, the bars in the middle can be removed for access beneath. The bars are spaced accordingly so that unknowing entrants will not accidentally fall through.
