Manhole Cover Lifter

A manhole cover lifter is a lifting device used to safely raise and move heavy manhole, drainage and access covers without manual strain. GAP Hire Solutions' manhole cover lifter hire range is built around a hydraulic hand-lever design that breaks a stuck cover free and lifts it clear with minimal effort. This gives a quicker, safer alternative to manual handling, and a genuine manual-handling and HSE benefit on sites where covers are lifted repeatedly throughout the day. Manhole cover lifters are used to access utility, drainage, telecoms and highways chambers for inspection, cleaning, repair and maintenance work, wherever a cover would otherwise need levering up by hand. Utilities contractors, drainage specialists, highways teams and facilities managers hire manhole cover lifters because they remove the strain, and the risk, of manually forcing a heavy cover open. Check the lifer's rated capacity against your heaviest cover before booking, and make sure there's enough clear space around the chamber to operate the lever safely. GAP Hire Solutions has manhole cover lifter hire available nationwide with fast depot delivery.
