    Composite manhole cover with frame and additional access lid – a durable SMC composite construction designed for heavy vehicle loads. The cover complies with EN124 D400 class, features a Ø900mm main opening, a 1020mm outer frame, and a smaller removable access lid that allows inspection without opening the entire manhole cover. The construction is resistant to corrosion, fuels, oils and many chemicals, and includes a sealing system, anti-slip surface and lockable bolts. Suitable for roads, parking areas, industrial zones and logistics facilities. 

  • Composite manhole cover with frame | Ø900mm | D400 | EN124 | with additional access cover | 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 the construction suitable for high vehicle loads.

    This version features a two-part construction: a smaller additional access cover is integrated into the main large cover. This allows access to the inside of the manhole for certain inspection or maintenance tasks without opening the entire main cover.

    The construction includes sealing elements, a removable side sealing structure and lockable bolts. The cover is resistant to corrosion, fuels, oils and various chemicals. SMC composite also has electrically insulating properties and helps reduce the accumulation of static electrical charge.

    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.

    Two-part cover construction

    Unlike the single-piece cover version, this construction features a main cover for the Ø900mm opening and an additional smaller access cover. The smaller cover is integrated into the main structure and can be removed separately.

    Additional access without opening the entire cover

    The smaller upper cover can simplify inspection, measurements or other maintenance work when it is not necessary to open the entire main Ø900mm access opening.

    Construction components

    Construction component Purpose
    Main SMC composite cover Covers the main manhole opening and carries vehicle loads.
    Additional access cover Allows access to part of the manhole interior without opening the entire main cover.
    Frame Designed to secure the entire structure at the installation location.
    Sealing elements Help reduce the penetration of water, liquids and odours between structural components.
    Double removable side sealing structure Provides additional sealing between the cover components and frame.
    Lockable bolts For securing the cover and protecting against unwanted opening.
    Removable lifting-handle inserts Designed for opening and maintaining both the main and additional covers.

    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 reduce the accumulation of static electrical charge and the risk of electrostatic discharge.

    High mechanical strength

    D400 class is intended for locations where the cover is exposed to high vehicle loads. The composite construction 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 and logistics yards and other locations where 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

    Sealed construction

    Multi-layer sealing system

    The main cover and additional access cover incorporate sealing elements designed to reduce the penetration of water, gases, odours, oil or other liquids into the manhole interior.

    Anti-slip surface

    Both the main cover and the additional access cover have a raised surface designed to provide better grip. This is particularly important in traffic and pedestrian areas where the surface may become wet or contaminated.

    Temperature resistance

    The temperature range specified for SMC moulded products is approximately -60°C to +150°C. The material has good resistance to temperature changes.

    Temperature range relates to SMC material properties

    The -60°C...+150°C range describes the temperature resistance of the SMC material used in moulded products. Operating conditions for the complete structure also depend on sealing elements, fixing and the installation location.

    Advantages

    • D400 load class suitable for high vehicle loads.
    • Additional access cover allows some maintenance work to be carried out without opening the entire main cover.
    • Ø900mm main opening provides a large access area.
    • SMC composite construction is corrosion-resistant and does not rust.
    • Resistance to fuels, oils and chemicals makes it suitable for industrial areas.
    • Sealing system helps protect the manhole interior against water and other liquids.
    • Lockable bolts help protect against unwanted opening.
    • Raised anti-slip surface improves grip.
    • Electrically insulating material does not have the electrical conductivity typical of metal structures.

    Disadvantages / limitations

    • Correctly prepared base required: D400 performance also depends on correct installation of the frame.
    • Large construction dimensions: the outer frame dimension is 1020mm.
    • The additional cover must be properly closed and secured before being exposed to vehicle loads.

    Suitable for

    • Carriageways
    • Car parks
    • Industrial areas
    • Storage and logistics yards
    • Petrol stations
    • Sewer and drainage manholes
    • Telecommunications and electrical cable chambers
    • Sites where an additional smaller access opening is useful

    Practical application example

    A technical manhole is installed in a trafficked area of an industrial site. Routine maintenance requires only limited access to the inside of the manhole, so the smaller upper cover can be removed. When full access is required, the main Ø900mm cover is opened. This construction allows different types of maintenance work to be performed more conveniently.

    Important installation note

    The D400 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 CO, C, F and other structural dimensions must be checked, and both the main and additional covers must be properly secured.
