Essential Safety with Manhole Safety Chains
Manholes are a vital part of the urban infrastructure, providing access to essential underground utilities such as sewers, water mains, and electrical cables. While they serve a critical function, they can pose significant safety risks for workers, particularly when entering or exiting confined spaces. One effective way to mitigate these risks is by using manhole safety chains.
At Speedy Fixings, we offer a comprehensive range of high-quality metal chain kits designed to keep workers safe in hazardous environments. Our products are trusted by civil engineering companies across the UK due to their durability, ease of use, and adherence to stringent safety specifications.
What Are Manhole Safety Chains?
Manhole safety chains are designed to act as a secure safety measure for workers accessing manholes. They provide a vital lifeline that can prevent potentially dangerous incidents in manholes and outflow pipes. In an emergency, workers can grab onto the chain reducing the risk of serious injury.
Why Speedy Fixings Stand Out
Our manhole safety chains are built to meet the Sewers for Adoption and Highways specifications, ensuring that they meet the highest standards of safety. We offer a variety of chain lengths, from 1 metre to 3 metres off the shelf, with the flexibility to provide custom metalwork lengths up to 10 metres on request.
Our Manhole Safety Chain Kits
We stock several types of manhole safety chain kits, each tailored to meet different needs:
Manhole Safety Chain Kit + Resin Fixing Kit:
This kit comes with a long link stainless steel chain, 2 eyebolts, a dee shackle, a spring hook, and a resin fixing kit. The resin fixing kit includes 300ml Rawlplug R-KEM II styrene-free polyester resin and a resin dispenser – ideal for securing chains in place.
Manhole Safety Chain Kit + Expanding Shield Anchors:
This kit includes the same grade A4-316 stainless steel chain, eyebolts, and spring hook, but uses shield anchors instead of resin for fixing. This allows the chain to be adjustable, so workers can position it precisely where it’s needed.
Manhole Safety Chain Kit without Fixings:
This simple kit includes the long link stainless steel chain, two eyebolts, two dee shackles, and a spring hook.
- All our chains are fully adjustable and can be positioned precisely where needed.
- We also manufacture Manhole Identification Badges.
