Manhole Cover Lifter

The Utility Manhole Cover Lifter enables one person to lift manhole covers in a variety of work environments and applications. The device features a long handle that allows the user to provide the proper leverage to raise the cover. Other features include rubber hand grips and a spiked foot for secure traction on unstable ground surfaces such as sand, ice or snow. The lifter's plated-steel tubular body is also designed to lift heavy manhole covers.

The product comes with several key options including a small J-hook, a large J-hook and a heavy L-hook. All the keys are made from heat-treated steel. In addition, General Machine Products can make custom key designs to fit unique applications.

Meter Cover Reconditioning

Midwest Reconditioning offers a reliable and environmentally friendly alternative to replacing utility meter covers. The company can remove hazing, opacity, dullness, pitting, scratches and virtually any degradation from weather and ultraviolet rays from almost any plastic, glass, Plexiglas, Lexan or polycarbonate product. The vendor also applies ultraviolet protection to stop yellowing. Rather than investing in new meter covers, utilities can return their meter covers to their original factory-like appearance for a fraction of the cost.
