RF1350-230 Series Non-Traffic Bearing SMC Square Manhole Covers for Pedestrian and Urban Areas

RF1350-230 Series Non-Traffic Bearing SMC Square Manhole Covers for Pedestrian and Urban Areas

The RF1350-230 series non-traffic bearing square manhole covers are specifically designed for areas that do not support vehicular traffic, including sidewalks, pedestrian plazas, green spaces, and other public walkways. Crafted from durable SMC (Sheet Moulding Compound) composite material, this series combines high corrosion resistance, weather durability, and thermal stability, providing a safe and reliable solution for urban infrastructure projects.

With a frame size of 1350 × 1350 × 230 mm and a clear opening of 960 × 960 mm, the covers measure 1000 × 1000 × 70 mm, making them easy to handle while ensuring robust access for maintenance tasks. The cover weighs just 14 kg, and the frame weighs 26 kg, allowing safe, effortless installation and inspection in pedestrian-only zones.

The RF1350-230 series conforms to EN124:1994 A15 load class, designed exclusively for pedestrian and cyclist areas with a test load of 15 kN. The integrated SMC structure ensures stability and durability, even without heavy-duty sealing. Optional pneumatic lifting arms and aluminum alloy mechanisms facilitate safe and easy access to underground utilities, enhancing operational efficiency while minimizing effort and risk.

In addition to functionality, the series offers multiple color options, including red, yellow, green, dark green, grey, sky blue, and black. This enables urban planners to blend the covers with the environment or categorize pedestrian access points visually. Custom color options and logo engraving are also available to meet branding requirements.

Internationally, this series is referred to differently depending on the country: in Egypt, it is known as SMC square manhole cover; in Nigeria, as composite pedestrian hatch cover; in Spain, as tapa cuadrada peatonal SMC; in Portugal, as tampa quadrada de inspeção SMC; in the United States, as non-traffic GRP square access cover; and in Russia, as композитный квадратный люк для пешеходной зоны. Regardless of the regional terminology, the key advantages remain consistent: safe for pedestrians, corrosion-resistant, durable, and easy to operate.

In conclusion, the RF1350-230 series non-traffic bearing SMC square manhole covers provide a reliable, durable, and safe solution for sidewalks, pedestrian zones, and urban green spaces. They are designed to meet the specific requirements of pedestrian areas, offering long service life, operational convenience, and visual flexibility compared to traditional metal covers.
