SELECTA gratings have been designed to provide high water capacity and easy access in curbside drainage applications. They incorporate several innovative features that facilitate maximum water absorption, minimize problems with debris, and enhance safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
| SELECTA gratings are designed to be ergonomically positive — that is, easy for one person to operate, with no special equipment necessary. • Hinged grating and cover - Reduces physical effort required to operate - Grating or cover can be opened independently |
REXUS manhole covers are designed to be highly durable, a benefit that is made possible by the excellent mechanical performance of ductile iron.
• Three times the load strength of typical cast iron covers
- Capable of withstanding an average load of 100,000 lbs.
- Far exceeds AASHTO H20 heavy-duty loading standard: (32,000 lbs.)
- Independently tested and certified
• Spring bar locking mechanism, in conjunction with hinge, ensures
stability of cover within frame
- Absorbs traffic shock
- Tested for long-term durability
| SELECTA gratings are designed to maximize water absorption. • Dual bar orientation for maximum performance • Raised studs to slow water flow • Bar surfaces are faceted to prevent leaves and litter from blocking drainage |
SELECTA gratings are designed to prevent unauthorized access. • Standard spring bar locking mechanism requires specific knowledge to be released
Safety
| SELECTA gratings are designed to maximize safety for pedestrians and cyclists, as well as maintenance personnel. • On pavement side, elimination of hinge system clearance ensures safety for pedestrians (those wearing high heels, using canes or crutches) • On street side, perpendicular positioning of bars ensures safety for cyclists • Ductile iron - Product weighs 50% less than typical cast iron gratings, reducing risks of manual material handling (MMH) |
