Different Features and Options for Your Manhole Covers
Manhole covers are an essential part of urban infrastructure but far from one-size-fits-all. At Manhole Covers Direct, we offer a wide range of features and options to ensure our manhole covers exceed your expectations. Let’s explore some of the variety of features and customization options available, helping you make informed choices when selecting the right manhole covers for your projects!
ID Tags for Easy Identification:
Identification tags, also known as “ID tags”, are a discrete yet effective way to label your manhole covers. These tags can include vital information like the location of the cover, utility type, and other relevant details. If you ever need to access or maintain the infrastructure beneath, these ID tags can be a real-time save. For more insights on the importance of ID tags and how they work, check out our blog on ID Tags.
Handles for Effortless Removal:
Although many manhole covers are fabricated with pick holes, handles provide convenience during maintenance and inspection. While pick holes require a pick bar to open, handles allow you to lift the cover with your hands or a chain for easy removal. The choice of handles can vary, so be sure to select the style that best suits your project’s needs!
Bolt Down for Secure Fastening:
Bolt down manhole covers are crucial for securely fastening manhole covers in place. They ensure the cover stays in position and prevents unauthorized access, while maintaining safety. Different projects may require varying numbers and positions of bolt holes, so customization is key.
Tamper-Resistant Bolts for Security:
Security is paramount for manhole covers, especially in areas where tampering or thievery is a concern. Tamper-resistant bolts add an extra layer of protection by preventing unauthorized access and ensuring the cover remains in place. Tamper-resistant bolts require a special tool to open, which upgrades them from your standard hex bolt. Click to learn more about Security & Tamper-Resistant Bolts!
Padlocks for Extra Security:
If you require additional security, consider using padlocks on your manhole covers. These locks can be an effective deterrent to prevent unauthorized access. Keyed access padlocks have been a dependable security method for years.
A Variety of Finishes:
The finish of a manhole cover can impact both aesthetics and longevity. Choose from various painted, galvanized, or powder-coated finishes to protect against corrosion and maintain an attractive appearance. For more information on finishes and their advantages, check out our blog on Preventative Paint, Powder Coating, and Hot Dipped Galvanizing.
