Drain-cover lifter

The application highlighted is commonplace and can involve crews lifting large numbers of covers in a working shift. We have provided an alternative solution to the same requirement. It is in use with a national infrastructure services provider and a City Council, fulfilling the requirements to lift gullies and gratings, plus the capability to lift both metallic and non-metallic drain covers. The product, the Manhole Buddy, has been used by both organisations as a truck-mounted solution (on existing lifting arms) but provides the added flexibility of being usable on it's own portable folding trolley. In particular, this allows covers to be removed in circumstances where the truck can not come alongside e.g verges and footpaths.
