A technically thought-out design
for safety and performance
1/Pit cover in accordance with the French Standard
The French Standard provides that all devices designed to prevent the risks of falls from the same level into a pit must have passed a resistance test. The pit protection system must be able to withstand an impact of 1200 joules, which is equivalent to a 50 kg bag dropped from a height of 2.40 m. All our pit cover models have been tested to the standard by an independent body.
2/Pit cover compatible with all concrete pit profiles
Our model allows to s’install on all types of traditional concrete pits without exception. Our integrated design office can offer you a tailor-made project and our metal fabrication workshop will produce the corresponding parts. Our teams can also assist you with replacing your pit-edge equipment (drainage tank or jack) with in-pit solutions.
3/CE compliance: Anti-pinch
The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (cf. Page 25 (from the machine directive) requires that it be impossible for a user to insert their finger between a fixed element (pit edge rail) and a moving element (pit cover) in order to avoid any risk of cuts or crushing.
It is for this reason that the company XPERTIVE installs all its aluminium covers with a maximum gap between rails of 5mm.
On each pit we work on, we re-establish the parallelism of the existing rails by installing our guides at the exact measurement using spacing jigs..
4/CE conformity: Anti-crushing
The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, (cf. page 63 The machine directive also provides for the mandatory fitting of a sensitive edge or safety bumper to a closing system, which will stop the cover if it collides with a person or tool.
Please note: This obligation is only valid if the cover is implemented automatically. «Automatic» is understood as the complete opening and closing with a simple press of a button (e.g. sectional workshop door).
XPERTIVE has chosen to offer, as standard on all its models, the opening and closing of its pit guards by a long press of a button.
This solution is much more secure than remote control operation, which allows the user to walk away from the pit without ensuring that others are not put in danger.
The solution using a button to activate a pneumatic system is much more reliable as it contains no electronic parts, no transmitter/receiver, or other components incompatible with maintenance professions and underground working conditions.
However, to meet the specific needs of our customers, we can offer to equip our standard solution with: palpable or sensitive bars :
- On manhole covers commanded by long press on a control box
- On 100% pit covers, automated at the touch of a button
Servo-controlled ground radio cell solutions have been implemented to automatically open or close the pit in the presence of vehicles and personnel, to the great satisfaction of our clients.
5/The most resistant on the market
Thanks to the considerable thickness of our blades (50 mm), their internal stiffener and male-female profile coupled with a 10 mm diameter screw, The XPERTIVE 25T/m2 motorised cover system is undoubtedly the most robust on the market..
It is today the only pit curtain model that allows for steering deviations when vehicles pass over the pit.
The twin wheels of a bus or heavy goods vehicle can sometimes catch on our pit cover. without causing damage or after-sales service.
Our clients also carry out the strength tests on our pit covers. Here, loads have fallen onto the roof without going through.
6/ Reliability and low maintenance cost
This blanket has been developed with ease of daily maintenance in mind for the user. Our pneumatic motors are lubricated for life. Our propulsion system is simple and purely derived from general mechanics. We wanted no electrical and/or hydraulic components to be involved in its manufacture.
The simplest solutions
ARE always the most effective!
In the event of a failure, a mechanic can easily intervene and repair the covering without prior training, thus considerably reducing maintenance time and costs.
