Just CAP That!®
Composite CAPs – The Future of Manhole Covers
Composite Access Products (CAP) manufactures composite covers and frames with compression molding. Unlike other composite options (RIM/RTM/SMC), CAP’s use a unique proprietary combination of continuous/long and short fibers for both load AND surface strength. CAP covers passing the AASHTO M 306 Proof Load test requirements for American highways with the rating of HS-25. CAP is the only US manufacturer to mold in-house – rather than outsource or import – a composite manhole cover with a state DOT approval letter for use “within roadway.” And… no speed limit restriction!
US Made? Do Your Due Diligence!
CAPs are Made In The USA and proudly announce it. If “Made In USA” is not clearly on the cover top then the cover is not American -most likely Chinese. Have you audited suppliers and their suppliers-complying with the new Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA)? Complying to Build America Buy America Act (BABA)? Country of Origin laws (19 U.S. Code § 1304 (e)? Where is your municipality putting US tax dollars?
I&I causing SSOs? Use CAP’s Watertight Cover (0.00 gpm!).
CAP’s composite cover and frame mate precisely, are gasketed, and bolted for optimum seal. And because CAPs do not corrode or stick, this tight fit won’t cause an opening problem. Third-party validated by a major US utility, CAP has the “best by far” watertight cover.
CAP Manhole Covers – Innovation In Infrastructure
Corrosion Resistance
CAP covers prevent corrosion, which weakens and can contribute to stuck covers.
Watertight To Prevent Inflow
Precisely mated composite covers and frames stop inflow and reduces sewer overflows. A new solution to fight water pollution
Lighter-Reducing Back Strain
CAP covers weigh approximately half traditional manhole covers. Reduce back injuries with CAP.
CAPs Remove Theft Reward $$$
Protect pedestrian safety and potential liability from falls into open manholes. No reason for thieves to steal CAPs.
Data Transmission
Transmission requires antenna holes in traditional covers. Signals pass through CAPs from underneath. Holes & shields – unnecessary.
Attractive Aesthetics
Pigmented covers and the CAP STONE call attention from da istance, enhance cosmetic appeal, and help match pavers.
Theft Reduction
CAP eliminates the root cause of manhole cover theft: the scrap metal content.
Lower Shipping Cost
Heavy covers reach weight limits of trucks before volume limits – thus lighter covers reduce shipments
Electric and Thermal Safety
Composites insulate pets and people unlike rapid electric/heat conductivity.

Superior Performance Without High Price
CAP Cost Savings – Beyond The Price Tag
The initial price is not the true cost to municipalities. For the real cost assign a value for each CAP savings and allocate over your annual cover purchases.
