Engineered for urban planners and municipal engineers seeking reliable access solutions, the F900 Double Triangular Hinged Manhole Cover combines innovative geometry with industrial-grade security. Designed to withstand sustained pressure from trucks and rapid vehicular movement, this system redefines urban utility access management.
Key Innovations
-
Dual-Triangle Reinforcement
The interlocking triangular panels distribute weight evenly across the surface, achieving 900kN load certification (EN 124 standard) – 30% higher stress tolerance than standard hexagonal designs. Ideal for airport runways and container terminals. -
TrafficFlow Hinge System™
Specially angled hinges reduce impact shock during vehicle crossings while preventing accidental lid displacement. Maintenance-free stainless steel bearings ensure 15+ years of smooth operation without lubrication. -
Vandal-Proof Locking
Three-point rotational lock mechanism deters unauthorized access and tampering. Compatible with universal manhole keys (sold separately) for municipal maintenance teams.
Technical Superiority
-
Dimensions: 750mm x 750mm clear opening (29.5″x29.5″).
-
Frame Height: 150mm (5.9″) accommodates modern cable conduits.
-
Material: Ductile iron EN-GJS-500-7 with anti-slip diamond plating.
-
Drainage: 48 strategically placed 18mm weep holes prevent water pooling.
Why Professionals Choose This Design
-
Instant Installation: Pre-aligned hinge sockets cut setup time by 40% vs conventional covers.
-
Noise Reduction: Rubber-sealed frame edges eliminate “lid clatter” in residential zones.
-
Cost Efficiency: Interchangeable panels allow partial replacement – no full unit disposal.
-
Safety Compliance: Reflective edge markers meet ISO 17398 for low-visibility conditions.
Application Scenarios
-
Highway emergency access points.
-
Underground electrical vaults in smart cities.
-
Stormwater management systems in flood-prone regions.
-
Fiber optic network junctions.
Maintenance Made Simple
Our corrosion-resistant epoxy coating (tested to 1,000hrs salt spray ASTM B117) ensures minimal upkeep. Bi-annual inspection of hinge pins and lock mechanisms recommended for optimal performance.
