Cast Iron Manhole cover - If only people could read!!!
This product is designed for foot traffic only. I'm so surprised people don't know this, or even read the product description, which clearly tells you this........but then complain that it breaks after being driven over!! Wow!!
Cast Iron is much more brittle than you would expect and it isn't designed to take the weight of a car. A15 load bearing is strictly for pedestrian traffic only.
I spoke to Clark Drain who supply the covers to Travis Perkins and they were very helpful and knowledgeable about this subject. They recommended either a steel cover (10T loading) or a B125 ductile cover. The latter is now installed in our driveway and is perfect!

Pedestrian A15 drain cover not car!
For the people leaving negative reviews because the covers broke when they drove over them. Class A15 (the clue is in the product photo) is for pedestrian areas and is rated at 1.5 tonnes, not 15 tonnes as another reviewer suggested! If you want one you can drive over you need class B125 or better!
