When the ductile iron manhole cover is loaded and unloaded, the cover may be
worn out or even damaged due to the handling during the loading and unloading
process, the jolt in the transportation, and the like. So, what kind of methods
can we take to reduce wear and reduce losses during the loading and unloading
process?
1. If a forklift is used to handle the ductile iron manhole cover, it should prevent the fork teeth from seriously hitting the flat steel outside the cover.
2. Use mounting clips for fixing. Each panel must have at least four mounting clips. For larger spans, install several more on the available supports.
3, consider the acceptance and installation of the convenience, please put the side of the sign and steel number on the side for easy viewing. Do not cause bulk bagging when loading or unloading, and do not stack them randomly.
4. It is recommended to use nylon lifting belts for lifting and handling. If hoisting with wire ropes, care should be taken to protect the flat steel at the edge of the well cover to prevent permanent deformation or damage to the outside of the well cover.
5. Well covers carrying flat steel and including flat steel are only in the height direction of the well cover and perpendicular to the plane of the well cover. They have high strength, and laterally unreasonable forces can cause deformation or damage.
The above introduction of ductile iron manhole covers is an effective method that we can take to reduce manhole cover wear during the loading and unloading of manhole covers. Hope that these introductions can bring you some help.
