Pair of Medium Duty Lifting Keys for Manhole Covers

The CD 556 Pair of Medium Duty Lifting Keys is designed for lifting compatible recessed and flush manhole covers fitted with suitable lifting points. These keys are commonly used where covers require regular opening for inspection, maintenance or service access in domestic and light commercial settings.

Manufactured from glass reinforced nylon, they offer a strong and lightweight alternative to metal lifting keys. The T handle design gives a practical grip for controlled lifting and easier cover removal compared with improvised tools.

These keys are primarily suited to medium duty covers used in driveways, paved areas, utility chambers, pedestrian zones and service access points where a stronger key than light duty plastic options may be preferred. They are also a practical replacement set when original lifting keys have been lost or damaged.

Using the correct lifting keys helps protect the cover lifting sockets, tray edges and surrounding paving or floor finishes. Always insert both keys fully and lift evenly using two-point lifting where the cover design allows.

Please check individual product listings for confirmed compatibility before ordering. These keys are intended for compatible covers only and are not universal for every manhole cover design. Made in Britain.
