REXUS manhole covers feature a unique spring bar locking mechanism and a spline located in the hinge housing for improved security; additional locking options are available to further deter unauthorized access and theft. Made from ductile iron — an engineered material that offers many advantages over traditional cast iron — REXUS covers deliver excellent performance in all the key areas of concern to municipal engineers.

Ergonomics

REXUS manhole covers are designed to be ergonomically positive — that is, easy for one person to operate, with no special equipment necessary.

   - Reduces physical effort required to operate by over 50%
   - Retains cover in safe and controlled way during and after lift
   - Can be easily operated by one individual

Durability

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.)

   stability of cover within frame

Safety

REXUS manhole covers are designed for safe use by installers and maintenance personnel.
• Ductile iron
   - Product weighs 50% less than typical cast iron covers, reducing risks
   of manual material handling (MMH)
   - Safe mode of failure — even in unlikely event that cover dishes and/or      cracks, it remains strong and stays in place
• Hinge design
   - Cover opens to 110° and is bocked at 90° to prevent accidental closure
• Spring bar lock
   - Should cover be left open, it can be closed and locked by simply applying      pressure with the foot
