Drainage
Handhold & Entry Pole System
P34
Summary
The handhold entry pole system is suitable for aiding maintenance engineers in the initial
entry into a manhole from the surface level. Once fitted, the entry pole is a permanent
fitting in the manhole which is stored in the lowered position beneath the level of the
cover. When required, the entry pole can be easily extended by simply hooking the easy
to reach loop located at the top of the pole, pulling the handle upwards and twist locking
into position. The handhold then provides a stable support to aid the entrance of the
manhole as well as a clear visual indication of the location of the manhole when open.
This helps prevent injury of other people in the area. Once the engineer has used the
entry pole to aid their return to the surface, the pole is simply twisted to unlock it from the
raised position and lowered back into the manhole ready for the next time it is needed.
Specification
The handhold has a pole length of 1200mm and can be assembled to give three different
distances from the pole to the wall. This is designed to accommodate different cover
positions
