Manhole Shutter

Manhole Shutters

Altrad Generation’s Manhole Shutters provide a long lasting, reusable concrete formwork system designed to form on-site concrete surrounds around precast manhole rings. Made from high quality modular steel, these shutters are designed to cover a wide diameter range of 675mm to 3000mm, offering exceptional flexibility through a mix and match configuration of three shutter panel sizes. Each is available in two heights: 900mm and 1800mm, with corresponding weights to support your structural requirements. Our shutters simplify formwork planning with clear guidance on section combinations, concrete volumes, and external diameters. This helps save time and reduce material waste on site. The modular nature of the system ensures quick setup, transportability, and repeat use, making them ideal for contractors looking to boost efficiency without compromising on durability.

For maximum on-site performance, these manhole shutters pair excellently with our Trench Sheets for soil retention, Trench Struts for load support, and Steel Road Plates for safe access over excavations. You can also explore our Groundwork Ancillaries like Manhole Safety Platform and Timber Toe Boards to complete your trenching and shuttering setup.
