Handle Assembly for Multi-Bolt Semi-Flush Manholes (Model #MB-503-HNDL)

Handle Assembly for Multi-Bolt Semi-Flush Manholes (Model #MB-503-HNDL)

The Model #MB-503-HNDL is a heavy-duty, surface-mounted replacement lifting handle assembly engineered explicitly for multi-bolt semi-flush manhole cover plates. Designed as a universal manual interface that fits both the 15" x 23" and 18" x 24" catalog sizes, this rigid handle assembly welds directly onto the exterior face of the top plate. This surface-mount configuration provides immediate, unhindered manual grab access across standard non-recessed plate profiles, giving shipboard crew members maximum lifting leverage to safely maneuver heavy steel covers and break stubborn, compressed perimeter gasket seals.

Key Features

  • Dual-Size Universal Fitment: Engineered with a standardized mounting footprint that installs directly onto the exterior top plates of both 15" x 23" and 18" x 24" semi-flush manholes.
  • Surface-Mount Rigidity: Heavy-duty structural design mounts directly to the top face of the plate, providing a high-strength connection that completely eliminates under-deck protrusions.
  • High-Leverage Grab Arc: Generous handle clearance zone provides ample room for heavy, industrial gloved hands to establish a secure, slip-free grip when pulling high-tonnage plate weights.
