Several of the standard sizes are available for direct delivery from our factory in Germany and the custom built covers are manufactured after the order has been recieved.

The products SD3 and SD4 are available as square and round weatherproof access manhole covers with a higher safety rating than the SD1 and SD2 covers for use in non-traffic areas. These are certified with RC3 classification according to EN 124 and they are used to protect shafts with valuable content (such as drinking water or expensive equipment) against burglars and vandalism. There are others options available; ventilation & insulation, ability to open from inside, an emergency opening handle and safety interlock alarm.

The SD7 and SD7.R products are flush fitting access covers. These have been tested with a loadbearing tests in accordance with DIN 1229 / RC 3. Available in different designs, loaded for 15/125/400 kN and sealed with a rubber seal. An option of installing folding railings for safety is available.

 
All of the HUBER manhole access covers are supplied with a gas damper (multiple gas dampers on larger sizes) and have lock cylinder protection. Due to the use of gas dampers, one person is able to open and close each of our manhole covers without the help of another person. To ensure safety, fall protection can be added with safety grids inside the shaft or railings around the shaft. If you are using this access manhole cover on a potable water installation, an option available is to mount our collection cover (sits below the manhole cover lid.) and this removes the possibility of contamination through vandalism / terrorism to the manhole access cover and provides protection to the potable water)
