Manguards® are specially designed to protect personnel during manhole installations, line taps, valve placements and spot repairs. Their cylindrical construction incorporates high-strength corrugated steel walls welded securely to rigid steel collars. Replaceable trapezoidal cut-outs (optional) allow the flexibility to clear incoming utilities while maintaining maximum protection for workers in the hole.

Light enough for handling with a rubber-tired backhoe, Manguards are easily stacked for varying depths. Standard models are available in 6', 8.5' and 10' diameters in both 4' and 8' heights. Combination lifting eyes/stacking guides provide secure attachment for lifting slings, while their angled orientation assists in guiding one Manguard on top of another. Quick-connect pins and keepers enable rapid interlock of stacked Manguards. Adjustable leg supports provide field adjustment of bottom clearance for incoming utilities, accommodating up to 52-inch diameters when utilizing the cut-outs.
