Designed for municipal engineers and infrastructure planners, the D400 Multileaf Manhole Cover delivers unmatched durability in high-traffic environments. Its compact 1200x600mm double triangular configuration ensures optimal load distribution, making it perfect for urban roads, industrial parks, and pedestrian-heavy zones where space efficiency matters.
Key Innovations
- Dual-Triangle Reinforcement System
Two interlocking triangular leaves distribute weight across 8 strategic contact points, achieving D400 certification (400kN load capacity). Withstands daily traffic from delivery trucks and municipal service vehicles. - SwiftHinge™ Technology
Corrosion-resistant stainless steel hinges with self-lubricating bearings enable smooth one-handed operation. Tested for 20,000+ cycles with zero sagging or misalignment. - DrainSmart Seal Matrix
Triple-layer EPDM gaskets + perimeter drainage grooves prevent debris buildup while allowing 15L/second water flow—ideal for storm-prone regions.
Technical Specifications
- Clear Opening: 1200mm x 600mm (47.2″x23.6″) – compact yet spacious for tool access.
- Frame Height: 100mm (3.9″) low-profile design reduces trip hazards.
- Material: Grade 600-3 ductile iron with zinc-aluminum coating.
- Surface Safety: Laser-etched anti-slip pattern (58 BPN rating, exceeds ISO 13473-1).
Problem-Solving Benefits
- Space-Saving Design: Narrow 600mm width fits constrained urban layouts.
- Quick Installation: Pre-assembled hinge units cut labor time by 30%.
- Vandal Resistance: Tamper-proof M16 locking bolts (keys sold separately).
- Quiet Operation: Noise-dampening rubber frame inserts reduce clatter by 22dB.
Ideal Use Cases
- City center pedestrian crossings.
- Warehouse loading bay drainage.
- Public transport lane cable access.
- Solar farm maintenance shafts.
Durability Features
- Survives -30°C winters to 60°C summers (EN 1433 compliant).
- 1,500-hour salt spray resistance (ISO 9227 certified).
- 20-year structural warranty.
