Pair of Heavy Duty Ductile Iron Lifting Keys for Manhole Covers

The CD 552 Pair of Heavy Duty Ductile Iron Lifting Keys is designed for safely lifting compatible heavy duty ductile iron manhole covers fitted with suitable keyways. These keys are intended for stronger covers where light duty plastic keys are not appropriate.

Manufactured from durable ductile iron, they are suited to repeated use on heavier lids found in commercial, industrial and trafficked environments. The loop handle design gives a secure handhold and better control during lifting, helping operators raise covers more evenly and safely.

These lifting keys are commonly used on access covers serving roads, car parks, service yards, loading areas, driveways and utility chambers where higher load class covers are installed. Manufacturer data states suitability for compatible C250, D400, E600 and F900 products.

Each pair is supplied with a black surface coating to help protect the finish during storage and regular site handling. Using the correct heavy duty lifting keys helps reduce damage to cover keyways and avoids unsafe improvised lifting methods.

Always confirm the cover keyway pattern and compatibility before ordering, as lifting keys are not universal across all brands or models.
