137 MANHOLE HOUSING GRAB One grab for housing and cover ! The manhole housing grab enables simple and safe transport and laying of manhole covers according to EN 124 / DIN 1229. The housings as well as the covers can be safely lifted and laid by the manhole housing grab. The suspension eye of the manhole housing grab is fitted to the load hook of the excavator / loader and is then positioned onto the manhole cover.
