—— VALIFTER MANHOLE COVER LIFTERS
Manhole cover lifters, manhole cover lifting systems and related systems:
Handles and direct-pull manhole cover lifters
Compact solutions for small manhole covers, drain covers, valve boxes, grates and rapid interventions. The key principle is immediate availability: low weight, easy transport and gripping accessories suited to the operating context.
Interchangeable attachments
The attachment systems are the devices that connect the manhole cover lifter to the manhole cover. Choosing the correct grip is essential: Rhino magnetic, Hook mechanical with VK/VS Keys, or GRABO vacuum.
Manhole cover unblocking systems
When the manhole cover is encrusted, covered with asphalt, oxidized, blocked by salt deposits or has no gripping point, dedicated tools are required for the preliminary opening phase.
COMPLEMENTARY CATEGORIES
Beyond manhole cover opening
Operations on manhole covers and underground utilities do not end with lifting the cover. This is why Valifter keeps two related macro-categories visible: lifting and access, operational solutions and protection systems.
