Loading Group E600

Introduction

This section includes Gatic covers and frames designed for Loading Group E600.

20 tonne wheel load, test load 600kN – Suitable for:

• Some airfield pavements dockyards

• Dockyards

• Other areas where single slow moving wheel loads up to 20 tonne may be encountered

E600 assemblies are available with a choice of cover designs –recessed or solid top.

Recessed covers are available in a choice of designs designated by a ‘Type’ reference. E600 recessed covers are available as Type DLF, DM, DMR, DM/F, RRF. Section drawings of the different recessed cover types are shown on the following pages.

Solid top cover types are lighter in weight than recessed covers, and feature an anti-slip surface.

Solid top covers are denoted by the code Type RSF depicted in section on the following pages.

To prevent movement of covers in high traffic conditions, we recommend the use of a factory fitted vibration-resistant locking system. These can be fitted to recessed covers only.

If you are uncertain as to the adequacy of covers conforming to a particular loading, we recommend specifying covers in a higher loading group. For example, if in doubt about covers in Loading Group E600, we recommend you specify covers in Loading Group F900.
