Maintenance Hole Cover Lifters
The Problem
- Maintenance workers are exposed to extremely high forces when handling maintenance hole covers. To remove the hole cover or frame, a pry bar is used and then the cover or frame is dragged/rolled.
- The hole covers and frames each weigh over 40 kgs.
- Workers may be at risk of back pain and shoulder pain. The injuries can be the result of a one-time overexertion, but generally develop over a long period of time.

- Lifting heavy loads in stooped postures, often requiring workers to pick up the hole’s cover or frame, increasing the risk of injury even further.
Three Solutions
Use a maintenance hole cover lifter, which is a cover lifter wheeled-leverage device designed to assist in the removal and replacement of maintenance hole and catch basin covers.
How It Works
- One tool lifts the cover or frame by pushing down on a long handle which reduces the required force.
- Alternative lifters include:
- A dolly designed with hooks and levers
- A dolly designed with a magnet
- Hydraulic hole cover lifters
- Truck mounted magnetic hole cover lifters
- Magnetic devices are available that require no power or recharging. To use these devices, the magnet is positioned onto the center of the steel surface and is turned on using a manually-controlled handle. The magnet is switched off by pressing a safety lock and moving the handle in the opposite direction.
- For the manually powered dollies, pressing down on the handles, lifts the cover.
- Mechanically powered lifters raise the cover or frame using hydraulics or other means.
- The cover can then be swung to one side and pushed to the desired location.
