600 x 450mm 17 Tonne, Galvanised Top, Poly Frame (8)

The 600 × 450mm 17 Tonne Access Cover with Galvanised Top and Poly Frame is a heavy-duty access solution designed for areas subject to frequent pedestrian use and occasional vehicle loading. Manufactured with a strong galvanised steel cover and a durable, non-corrosive polypropylene frame, this unit delivers increased load capacity while remaining easier to handle and install than traditional cast iron alternatives.

With a 17 tonne load rating, this access cover is suitable for domestic driveways, service yards, light commercial areas, and paved access routes where higher strength is required without the full weight of ductile iron covers. The galvanised steel top provides excellent resistance to corrosion, impact, and surface wear, while the poly frame ensures long-term durability in external environments. The 600 × 450mm clear opening allows safe, convenient access for inspection and maintenance of underground services.
