FAQs

Can these keys be used on all manhole covers?

No, these keys are designed specifically for covers that use rectangular lug access holes.

How many keys come in a package?

Each package contains two keys, which is the required amount for safely lifting a standard cover.

Are these keys rust-proof?

They are zinc-plated to provide enhanced corrosion protection, but they should be wiped dry after use in wet conditions to ensure longevity.

Do I need special gloves to use these?

While not required, the handles are designed to be comfortable and secure even when wearing thick protective work gloves.

What is the length of these keys?

These specific keys measure 150mm in length.

Troubleshooting

Key will not fit into the aperture

Clear any packed debris or rust from the manhole cover hole using a wire brush before re-inserting the key.

Key feels loose or wobbly when lifting

Ensure the lug is inserted at the correct 90-degree angle to the cover slot and that you are using both keys in tandem to stabilize the weight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable zinc-plated steel prevents corrosion
  • Ergonomic handle design works well with gloves
  • Strong, reliable grip on rectangular lug systems
  • Essential for safe, two-handed cover lifting

Cons

  • Not suitable for covers without rectangular lug holes
  • Requires proper technique to prevent back strain
  • Does not include integrated lifting hooks for non-lugged covers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before attempting a lift, verify that your manhole cover features the standard rectangular slots required for these keys. Always inspect the keys for any signs of metal fatigue or bending before use. After heavy-duty jobs, wipe the keys down to remove dirt, grit, and moisture. Store them in a dry location to maintain the integrity of the zinc plating. Avoid using these keys as prying tools for other purposes, as excessive lateral force could bend the lugs and compromise their safety for future use.
