Manhole cover

[Paul205]

Dear All,

We have had a concealed manhole over which has four screws which require removing before the cover can be lifted.

I have attached a photo of the cover. I'd be apprecaitive if anyone can advise on the brand of cover or type of key I would need to remove it.

Cheers




Paul

Looks like you need a "flat head screwdriver" key.

Thanks, It needs a flat head screwdriver to remove the screw. I am trying to find out which key I then use to remove the manhole cover

 

[pilsbury]

Am I missing something? Looks like you grab any of those corner bars that I assume are to keep it square and lift? The look fairly flush so get the mole grips out.

 

[Paul205]

Yes, That is the cover before bitumen has been applied. when bitumen is applied all that remanins is the four screws. these are removable but I am trying to work out what key is then used to lift the cover

You use handle things with hooks on the end. Bit like trampoline spring ones.
