Description
Hercules D400 Manhole Cover 1200 × 1200 – DMT0D6/1212/4
The Hercules D400 Manhole Cover is engineered for applications where large chamber openings and sustained heavy traffic loading must be accommodated without compromising stability. With a clear opening of 1,200 × 1,200mm and a 150mm frame depth, this 1200×1200 manhole cover is designed to distribute high loads effectively into the surrounding structure, reducing stress on bedding and extending service life. Manufactured from ductile iron, the Hercules design incorporates enlarged corners, indexed alignment points, and integrated lifting features to support safe installation and long-term performance in demanding environments.
