Winner of the highly acclaimed German Design Award in 2015 for its excellence in sophisticated design and quality, ACO’s SAKU cover is a type of lightweight manhole cover primarily used in footpaths, storm water drains, sewers and residential yards.
Recently appraised by the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA), this cover is designed to comply with Australian urban industry requirements. It is lightweight, with a lifting weight of less than 9kg; minimising the potential for injuries while lifting.
The lightweight SAKU cover can be installed in:
- Coastal areas (near beaches and waterways)
- Footpaths
- Residential areas
- Sewer & Storm water drains
- Fuel and trade waste
- SAKU access cover
The SAKU cover and frame system consists of an iron frame, a lightweight thermoplastic cover and an EPDM rubber seal. Its lifting weight is one third the weight of traditional iron covers.
Other features of the ACO SAKU access cover include:
Polypropylene
The SAKU cover is especially suitable to corrosive sewer environments and seaside areas, since it is manufactured from a durable material called ‘polypropylene’. This incredibly versatile material can be found almost anywhere; from your average household, to a variety of commercial and industrial areas.
The main benefit of using polypropylene is that it has a high melting point compared to the majority of other plastics. Due to this, it can be utilised in climates with harsh temperatures.
