February 6, 2025 How do I choose the right access cover for my needs?

When choosing an access cover, several key considerations need to be factored in including load capacity, actual location and design preferences. For pedestrian areas, lighter load-rated covers like A15 may be sufficient, while zones with heavy vehicle traffic require higher ratings up to D400. Don’t forget to consider the existing surface. Recessed covers are ideal for paved areas where a discreet, seamless look is desired whereas for industrial environments, durability and resistance to wear are far more crucial.
