Problem & solution
TITAN ALU manhole cover opener
The problem
Weighing up to 60 kg - manhole covers are real load tests
Whether in winter when it's icy, in summer when it's hot or after years of use: conventional manhole covers are often stuck - and weigh up to 60 kg. Anyone trying to lift them by hand risks back injuries, accidents and wasted time. This is a daily problem for cities, construction companies and fire departments.
The solution
Simple. Effort-saving. Sophisticated.
The TITAN ALU is the professional tool for opening manhole covers quickly and safely. Developed for tough use, it works even in ice, dirt or corrosion - without bending down, without lifting, without changing tools. Ideal for emergency services and construction professionals.
Developed for whom?
For professionals who have no time for pain
Whether in use, in an emergency or on the construction site: the TITAN ALU manhole cover opener has been specially developed for fire departments, local authorities and construction companies - for greater efficiency and less stress in everyday use.
From the perspective of the fire department
Every second counts for firefighters, especially when it comes to quickly opening underground hydrant covers and ensuring the water supply. But especially in winter, when temperatures drop below freezing, conventional underground hydrant wrenches reach their limits: Hydrant covers freeze solid or rust and are often difficult to open.
Challenges when opening hydrant covers
If a cover is frozen or rusted shut, the only option is often to switch to another hydrant. This lengthens the hose lines, delays the operation and can possibly lead to injuries. The usual method of loosening the cover with blows rarely leads to success. Heating with a roofing torch is also not always possible, for example in the vicinity of parked vehicles or in the event of gas leaks in sewer systems.
