General information

Latham aluminium access covers and liners offer many benefits over similar products fabricated from steel or cast iron. They are lightweight, corrosion resistant, economical, and provide an attractive modern appearance.

Latham Access Covers offer yet another alternative to floor access and drainage. Access covers can be specified with the same plates that are available for trench covers. Where wide covers are required, or heavier loads are expected, Type S, Type A, and Type T are available with stainless steel covers. When specified, block ends can be supplied.

Aluminium access covers and frames can be supplied with optional trench liners to simplify installation and offer improved performance. Covers include vinyl seals which cushion against rattles and serve as a moisture/fume barrier. Contact Latham Australia for acceptable load limits if required.
