675 x 675mm Double Triangular Ductile Iron Manhole Cover and Frame D400

675 x 675mm Double Triangular Ductile Iron Manhole Cover and Frame D400

Description

This 675 x 675mm ductile iron manhole cover and frame is a double triangular D400 rated access cover designed for heavily trafficked external environments. It is commonly specified for estate roads, delivery areas, light industrial sites, commercial yards and car parks where regular vehicle loading demands a stronger cover system.

The double triangular cover design uses two interlocking triangular leaves rather than a single large lid. This helps reduce single lift weight during access while maintaining a secure heavy duty seating arrangement. It is a practical format for chambers that require periodic inspection but operate in trafficked areas.

Manufactured from spheroidal graphite ductile iron, the CD 1659 KMD offers high strength with improved toughness and crack resistance compared with traditional cast iron products. When correctly installed into a suitable concrete surround, it is built for repeated wheel loading and demanding service conditions.

A non-rock three point suspension seating system helps the covers sit firmly in the frame, reducing movement and noise under traffic. Integral lifting key holes are provided for controlled removal using compatible heavy duty lifting keys.

The 675 x 675mm clear opening provides useful access for larger drainage chambers, utility infrastructure and network maintenance points. The deep 100mm frame offers substantial bedding depth and frame stability in high load environments.

D400 loading is intended for BS EN 124 Group 4 applications including carriageways, hard shoulders, service roads and commercial vehicle areas. It is not suitable for solid wheel traffic such as forklifts unless specifically approved for that use.

Optional FW (Foul Water) or SW (Storm Water) badging is available where chamber identification is required on site.

Key Features

Cast & Ductile Iron Manhole Covers

About this collection

Cast & Ductile Iron Manhole Covers

Cast iron and ductile iron manhole covers are heavy duty access covers designed for drainage and utility chambers in areas subject to regular vehicle traffic. They are commonly used in roads, driveways and commercial installations.

View Collection

Is this suitable for public roads?

Yes. D400 is commonly specified for carriageways, estate roads and trafficked commercial areas, subject to site requirements.

Why choose a double triangular cover?

It splits the access cover into two sections, helping reduce single lift handling weight while maintaining heavy duty performance.

Is this suitable for a domestic driveway?

It can be used, but it is usually more cover than most domestic sites require. B125 covers are often sufficient for standard driveways.

Can this be used by forklifts?

Not as a default recommendation. Solid wheel traffic can create different loading conditions and should be specifically assessed.

What do FW and SW markings mean?

FW indicates foul water and SW indicates storm water. These markings help identify chamber services on site.
