Designed for seamless maintenance and pedestrian safety, the 600x450mm ductile iron manhole cover features a patented slide-out mechanism, making it ideal for parks, sidewalks, and residential areas. Certified to EN124 B125 (12.5-ton load capacity), this 40mm-deep cover combines lightweight accessibility with industrial-grade durability, perfect for light vehicular and high-foot-traffic zones.
Core Features
- Material: Grade 450-6 ductile iron with ≥92% iron, 3.3% carbon, and 2.4% silicon for 450 MPa tensile strength and crack resistance.
- Slide-Out Design: Tool-free removal reduces maintenance time by 50% vs. bolted covers.
- Safety:
- Anti-slip chevron pattern (Ra ≥50μm) meets ISO 1344 standards.
- Integrated locking tabs deter vandalism and theft.
- Protection:
- Zinc coating (130g/m²) + epoxy finish for urban/coastal environments.
- Optional V-Bio® Zinc for acidic soils (pH 4–10).
