50 Jahre HUBER Schachtabdeckungen aus Edelstahl

Since then, the use of stainless steel for manhole covers has become more and more widespread and, thanks to HUBER's pioneering work, has established itself in the market. In 1990, HUBER completely stopped the production of steel manhole covers and steel products and dedicated itself 100% to stainless steel.

HUBER stainless steel manhole covers have become the norm

Today, tenders requiring a material other than stainless steel for manhole covers are the big exception, i.e. in the last 50 years the situation has changed in return.

From these early beginnings, a wide range of different HUBER manhole cover designs have developed over the last five decades, always in close contact and cooperation with our customers. Especially the feedback from our customers we receive in discussions at trade fairs, through telephone calls or during field service visits, was then and still is extremely valuable.

The practical application and regular use of the covers by our customers provide important approaches to continuously improve our products and thus maintain the HUBER quality they have come to expect. Feedback from the market, e.g. requesting a back-friendly opening of the heavy covers, prompted us to equip the HUBER Manhole Covers with gas springs, which we have now been doing for more than 30 years as a matter of principle.

The complete range of HUBER Manhole Covers is "Made in Germany" or even more correctly "Made in Berching". Many of our customers have already taken the opportunity to visit our production facility. Thanks to modern and optimised production processes as well as motivated employees, we are able to withstand the price pressure of cheap foreign products.

The HUBER anniversary cover

HUBER stainless steel covers have now been on the market for 50 years and for us this is a welcome occasion to take a look at all the customer requests from home and abroad that we have collected over the years.

We set ourselves the goal of fulfilling (almost) all customer wishes in an "anniversary cover", and the result is the innovative HUBER Manhole Cover SD50 SAP (Safe Access Pro).

This HUBER cover made of stainless steel chequer plate has an integrated fall protection which can be loaded up to 200 kg, concealed ventilation openings, seal on the underside of the cover and a recessed lock to name the most important features.
