    Hi,

    Does anyone know the right kind of key required to lift this manhole? We have not been successful in lifting it with a crowbar.

    You need either the Screw in Eyes (Threaded Manhole Cover Hand Key) they come in various sizes up to 16m & very darn expensive.

    You can use a thread bolts or threaded eye bolts instead of the threaded manhole keys to lift cover, cheaper option.

    I use eye bolts & a round bar through them, need a second pair of hands to help though.

    Hi Cai,

    Did you find the key for this. looks very similar to a cover we have on our site. It was manufactured by a company in Telford try Fabweld Steel Products

    Hope this helps
