Assurance in extreme environments Cargo F900 manhole coversVersatile and purpose-built, Cargo has been expertly designed and tested to the F900 load class, supporting loads up to 90 tonnes – roughly equivalent to six and a half double-decker buses. Cargo offers a practical solution for shipping, aviation and industrial sectors. Featuring a powerful combination of strength, durability, and reliability that exceeds industry standards. Rest assured that with Cargo any critical installation has the best-in-class solution for your demanding environment. 
Ultra strong access covers for extreme environmentsCargo utilises two main beams across its centre, as well as numerous smaller support beams, to reliably distribute extreme loads throughout it's large robust frame and safely into the foundation. The covers feature numerous safety features that increase safe handling. Safety keyways in the cover prevent lifting keys from becoming dislodged during the lifting procedure. M16 eye bolt points are also provided in the centre of each cover, for a safe mechanical lifting solution. The frame includes mechanical and safety keyway lifting points. All of these features significantly reduce risk to operatives during the handling and installation process. Cargo offers our proven mortar-sympathetic frame arrangement, employing a textured flange, which utilises the mechanical properties of bedding mortar rather than just the adhesive characteristics. The flange edge is deliberately round profiled, eliminating crack induction in the surrounding bedding materials. This all combines to ensure the longest operational life possible. With Cargo you get durability and reliability in the most demanding environments. Engineered from strong ductile iron, the offering is tailored for group 6 traffic with constant vehicular activity.

Ideal for airports, shipping and industrial sectorsDesigned for the extremeCargo manhole covers are specifically designed to endure the harsh and demanding conditions of high-impact environments. These covers are capable of supporting loads of up to an impressive 90 tonnes and have been tested to meet the F900 load class. This level of capacity is vital for airports, where constant traffic from planes and service vehicles requires an access cover that can withstand the pressure without flinching. Similarly, docks, container terminals, and specialised industrial complexes can benefit from the resilience of these manhole covers. They provide safety while also preventing costly accidents or disruptions caused by heavy machinery and substantial material handling needs. Our Cargo series is not just about creating strong covers, but rather about crafting solutions that can endure even the most challenging environments. We are committed to maintaining the safety and integrity of your infrastructure, regardless of the traffic it bears. 
Ease the stresses and strainsSympathetic to foundationsCargo's flange surface provides a textured finish for bedding mortar to adhere to. Mortar holes allow for interlocking between both sides. This allows Cargo to utilise the mechanical properties of bedding mortar, not just its adhesive characteristics. The built-in bevelled frame edge prevents sharp edges from cutting into and breaking mortar away over time, allowing vibrations from heavy and frequent traffic to be minimised and safely transferred into the foundation. These unique mortar-sympathetic and advanced design features allow Cargo installations to withstand extreme environments. 
Universal beamA strength above the restWhat sets Cargo apart is its high rigidity support beams, based on 'Universal Beam' technology which result in lower seat wear for improved longevity. Developed using advanced computer modelling and testing, this technology, incorporated in bridge and building construction, offers maximum strength and stiffness, dissipating the effects of forces exerted from high volumes of traffic. It also ensures that wear of cover seating is minimised (where the cover meets the frame), which is a common cause of failure in many rival covers. This all combines to provide the longest service life possible for the whole structure. Cargo gallery
