FAQs
What is a manhole cover?
A manhole cover is a removable lid placed over an opening in the ground, usually used by workforces who need to undergo maintenance on wires, sewers and drainage systems.
Why are manhole covers round?
A manhole cover is usually circular for safety and handling purposes. However, we do have square variations in our collection as manholes tend to vary in size.
How do you lift a manhole cover?
To lift a manhole cover, you’ll usually use a manhole cover key. If it’s a little too tight to lift, use a screwdriver or a pry bar. It’s important to note that you shouldn’t be opening manhole covers unless directed to, or it’s located on your property, and you need to access a system used exclusively by your household.
