SAVES “YOU”

Studies show there are more than 350 back injuries per year in the drainage industry in the UK alone.
With Health & Safety as a priority, users of the CoverUp Key can avoid back injuries commonly caused by standard manhole cover lifting methods.

SAVES TIME

The CoverUp Key is built to lift easily most of stubborn manhole covers, saving time in hammering down, chiselling around the edges, or other time-consuming procedures.

SAVES COSTS

The CoverUp Key is proven to move 95% of stuck drain covers, saving you from the costs of breaking and/or replacing manhole covers, or from requiring expensive specialised equipment or third party agencies.

How the CoverUp Key works

But how does the CoverUp Key work? It’s quite simple. A unique and patented slide-hammer action allows users to exert temporary upward force on covers. When combined with the correct tip (there are more than 15 available) operatives are able to strike stuck covers from below forcing them upwards. Thanks to its design, the impact is absorbed by the cover itself meaning the key is not just highly effective but also safe. It also allows users to maintain their posture during use, minimising the risk of back injuries.
