Lifting manhole covers isn’t as easy as you’d expect, due in part to the vast array of different keyholes available on different types of cover. Proteus offers a full range of keys and accessories to interface with any type of cover, so if you need help deciding what lifting keys you need for your covers don’t hesitate to contact us and we’ll be happy to help. Another even better option is to email us photos of your manhole covers so that we can see what keys you need to go along with your lifter.

If you only need to lift your covers every so often, we can provide comprehensive Handylift Hydraulic kits for weekly hire at very competitive rates.
