  • Composite manhole cover with frame | Ø900mm | D400 | EN124 | sealed | SMC

    Composite manhole cover with frame made of SMC composite material and designed for covering underground utility networks, technical manholes and other access openings. The cover has a D400 load class, making it suitable for high vehicle loads and use in areas with heavy vehicle traffic.

    The construction includes a sealing ring, double removable side sealing structure and lockable bolts. The cover is resistant to corrosion, fuels, oils and various chemicals. The SMC material also provides electrical insulating and static charge dissipating properties.

    D400 load class according to EN124

    The cover is classified as D400 and complies with the EN124 standard. Covers of this class are used on carriageways, car parks, industrial areas and other locations exposed to high vehicle loads.

    Construction

    Consists of a composite cover, frame, sealing elements and mechanical locking components. The cover has a raised anti-slip surface that helps reduce the risk of slipping.

    Construction component Purpose
    SMC composite cover High mechanical strength, resistant to corrosion and environmental influences.
    Frame Designed to secure the structure at the installation location.
    Rubber sealing ring Helps ensure sealing between the cover and frame.
    Double removable side sealing structure Provides additional sealing and structural stability.
    Lockable bolts For securing the cover and protecting against unwanted opening.
    Removable lifting-handle insert Designed for easier opening and maintenance of the cover.

    SMC composite material

    SMC is a mouldable composite material used in structures requiring high mechanical strength, resistance to environmental influences and relatively low weight.

    Electrically insulating composite construction

    SMC composite is non-metallic and has electrically insulating properties. The material also helps dissipate static electrical charge and may therefore be useful in installations where reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge is important.

    High mechanical strength

    D400 class is intended for areas where the cover is exposed to high vehicle loads. The composite structure is resistant to deformation, cracking and mechanical wear during long-term use.

    D400 – for high vehicle loads

    The cover can be used on carriageways, industrial areas, petrol stations, storage yards and other locations where light or heavy vehicles operate.

    Resistance to corrosion and chemicals

    The composite structure does not rust and is resistant to many substances that the cover may encounter in industrial or transport environments.

    • Petrol
    • Diesel fuel
    • Lubricants and oils
    • Many chemicals
    • Moisture
    • Corrosive environments

    Thanks to these properties, the cover can be used at petrol stations, petroleum storage facilities, industrial sites and other environments where metal covers may be exposed to corrosion.

    Sealed construction

    Sealing system

    The rubber sealing ring and side sealing structure are designed to reduce the penetration of water, gases, odours, oil or other liquids between the cover and frame.

    Anti-slip surface

    The upper section of the cover has a pronounced raised surface designed to provide better grip. This is particularly important in vehicle and pedestrian areas where the surface may become wet or contaminated.

    Temperature resistance

    The operating temperature range stated for SMC moulded products is approximately -60°C to +150°C. The material has good heat resistance and retains its mechanical properties during significant temperature changes.

    Temperature range relates to SMC material properties

    The specified -60°C...+150°C range describes the temperature resistance of the SMC material used in moulded products. Actual operating conditions at a specific installation location also depend on sealing elements, fixing components and the complete structure.

    Advantages

    • D400 load class suitable for high vehicle loads.
    • EN124 standard clearly defines the manhole cover load class.
    • Ø900mm clear opening provides a large access area.
    • SMC composite construction is corrosion-resistant and does not rust.
    • Resistance to fuel, oil and chemicals makes it suitable for industrial areas.
    • Sealing system helps protect the manhole from ingress of water, liquids and odours.
    • Lockable bolts protect against unwanted opening of the cover.
    • Raised anti-slip surface improves grip.
    • Electrically insulating material does not have the electrical conductivity typical of metal covers.
    • Lower weight than cast-iron structures may simplify transport, installation and maintenance.

    Disadvantages / limitations

    • Correctly prepared base required: D400 performance also depends on correct installation of the frame.
    • Large external dimensions: the frame diameter is approximately 1020mm, so sufficient installation space is required.

    Suitable for

    • Carriageways
    • Car parks
    • Industrial areas
    • Storage and logistics yards
    • Petrol stations
    • Petroleum storage facilities
    • Chemical industry facilities
    • Sewer and drainage manholes
    • Telecommunications and electrical cable chambers
    • Other underground utility access openings

    Not suitable for

    • Applications requiring a higher load class
    • Installation without a properly prepared load-bearing base

    Practical application example

    A technical manhole is installed in a trafficked area of an industrial site. A large access opening, resistance to heavy vehicle loads and resistance to a corrosive environment are required. The composite cover is installed into a properly prepared base. The rubber sealing ring helps reduce the ingress of water and other liquids, while the lockable bolts prevent the cover from being easily opened without tools.

    Yes. The cover surface has a raised anti-slip structure.

    Important installation note

    The load class is determined not only by the cover itself, but also by the correctly installed frame and supporting base. The installation structure must reliably transfer vehicle loads to the surrounding base. Before installation, the clear opening, frame and installation dimensions must be checked and all construction and engineering requirements applicable to the specific site must be followed.
