Hermelock: durable, waterproof and safe for intensive use
Hermelock manhole covers combine the advantages of high-quality composite material with a well-thought-out construction for a durable and reliable cover for inspection and access points. Thanks to their manufacture from polyurethane reinforced with fiberglass and a frame made of fiberglass-reinforced polypropylene, these manhole covers are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and able to withstand various weather conditions. The watertight design with a dual hydraulic system and dual siphoning action helps limit unwanted odors, water infiltration, and contamination. In addition, the integrated non-slip waffle pattern ensures safe walkability and optimal noise reduction under load.
Hermelock benefits
- lightweight
- easy to handle and position
- hermetically sealable
- odour- and gas-tight by means of a rubber seal

For applications in pedestrian zones, parking lots, parking garages, and other areas according to EN124 class B125, Hermelock access covers offer a durable and low-maintenance solution. The quadruple locking system enhances safety, while options such as hermetic sealing against liquids and gases, custom markings, and logos provide extra flexibility for specific projects.
FAQ
1. Are Hermelock covers suitable for traffic loads?
Yes, Hermelock covers are designed for applications where specific load classes are required, depending on the type of cover and the installation situation. During project planning, it is important to always select the correct EN 124 load class based on:
- pedestrian zones
- parking zones
- light or medium vehicle tax
2. Are Hermelock covers resistant to corrosion and chemical exposure?
Yes, composite materials such as Hermelock are inherently corrosion-free. They are not susceptible to rust, which is a major advantage compared to steel or cast iron, especially in humid or chemically aggressive environments such as:
- sewer inspection manholes
- rainwater buffers
- industrial environments
- pedestrian zones
- parking zones
- light or medium vehicle tax
3. What about the sustainability and lifespan of Hermelock?
Hermelock is developed for long-term outdoor applications with minimal degradation. The material is resistant to:
- UV exposure
- freeze-thaw cycles
- prolonged moisture exposure
For project managers, this means less maintenance and a longer lifecycle for infrastructure components.
