So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Importance Of Using A Manhole Cover Lifter

By Ina Hunt


Manholes and inspection chambers are covered with covers that are heavy in weight. The aim of these covers is provide covering of manholes from debris and water. Those covers also serve to protect people from falling inside the holes. When you want to remove those covers to access the channels, it becomes pretty cumbersome and time consuming. The use of manhole cover lifter make things easy for the maintenance workers because they are able to unseat and lift covers easily and safety.

Traditionally covers of manholes have been lifted by hand or use of some other crude tools. However, before holding the covers with your hand, you need to do some unseating or freeing up from the frames. At times, these covers are deeply and firmly embedded in the frame. What this means is that you cannot pull and lift them using your hand.

The hammer may miss the crowbar and hit the feet or toes. Additionally, lifting hammers can cause muscle and joint sprains. There is a lot of lifting activity involved when you use traditional methods to unseat and free up covers from manholes. The manholes may not have been opened for quite a while and this means that the frame and cover could be difficult to release.

The key slot connects with the manholes covers in order to help in unseating those lids. Though the key slots have fixed positions that allow covers to be lifted evenly and uniformly, at times, there is need for some force to be applied when trying to free up or unseat covers. The key slots do not permit an unseating force to be applied at the edge of covers, and this is where the force is actually needed.

Back pains can arise when lifting covers using the hands. Since you have to bend and grip the covers using hands before lifting them, something can happen which causes your back to sprain or experience an unexpected stress. When lifting covers with hands, they also likely to slip out of hand and fall.

With the constant exposure of covers and frames to moisture and rainfall, corrosion will occur if the materials are metallic. The corroding surfaces allow despots of rust and other materials to form on those covers and frames. This also makes the task of lifting those covers very difficult. When you use the crowbars and sledge hammers, you will incur costs such as damage or breaking of lids.

Much of the time is spend struggling to open covers. If you are working on areas where traffic passes, you may end up blocking the vehicles and people for a long time. This is inconveniencing and in some areas, it can affect the operations of businesses. This is why it is advisable that you seek for manholes cover removers to offer short turnaround time in removing the covers.

In addition, if you have to spend more time removing covers, it means the tasks you can handle for certain period are reduced. The cost of doing the work increases because you need other tools like hammers and pneumatic drills, which are unnecessary. The modern manhole covers lifters are designed to enable workers be able to unseat and lift covers easily and in the most safest manner.
