REXUS gratings have been designed for efficient, high-volume water capacity. They also incorporate a spring bar locking mechanism for added security, and other advanced features for enhanced ergonomics and road durability.
REXUS gratings are designed to be ergonomically positive — that is, easy for one person to operate, with no special equipment necessary.
• Hinged design
- Reduces physical effort required to operate by over 50%
- Eliminates the need to remove the grate (though it can be completely
removed if necessary)
- Ensures that grate remains securely attached to frame while opening
and closing
- Grate hinges back to 120°, allowing full access to basin
REXUS manhole covers are designed to be highly durable, a benefit that is made possible by the excellent mechanical performance of ductile iron.
• Three times the load strength of typical cast iron covers
- Capable of withstanding an average load of 100,000 lbs.
- Far exceeds AASHTO H20 heavy-duty loading standard: (32,000 lbs.)
- Independently tested and certified
• Spring bar locking mechanism, in conjunction with hinge, ensures
stability of cover within frame
- Absorbs traffic shock
- Tested for long-term durability
REXUS gratings are designed to maximize water absorption.
| • Longitudinal slots parallel to curb and inlet capture most significant flow • High waterway area: 290 square inches • Hydraulic deflectors create turbulence to increase water capacity |
REXUS gratings are designed to provide a range of security options to prevent unauthorized access.
• Two locking kits are available, can be retrofitted to cover
Safety
REXUS grates are designed for safe use by installers and maintenance personnel. • Ductile iron
- Product weighs 50% less than typical cast iron covers, reducing risks
of manual material handling (MMH)
• Hinge design
- Left- or right-hand design permits grate to be opened into face of
oncoming traffic; if left open, grate will close when struck by vehicle
• Public safety
- Studding on gratings and slot layout provide improved slip resistance
for pedestrians and cyclists
- Slot size and orientation minimize risk of accidents for pedestrians, wheelchair users and cyclists
