   1. Place lifting hooks through grate. (same position to remove grate)
   2. Gently lower grate into position. (Plate 10)
   3. Note some grates have offset hinges points that prevent the grate from falling over,
      such pits require the hinged side of the grate to be lifted while the grate is lowered
      into position. (insert picture)


3.2.2 Non-Hinged Pit Grates
Non hinged pits are typically constructed of cast iron, concrete or heavy duty galvanised
steel. As such the pit grates are generally heavy and difficult to remove, generally requiring
two people to safely remove the lids.

To remove a non-hinged pit grate:
    1. Place lifting hooks beneath grate, where possible in the four corners of the grate
       (Plate 11). Concrete lids may have Gatic lifting points, a key arrangement or holes
       in the lid, as such special equipment, such as Gatic lifters may be required.
    2. Position each person either side of the grate. (Plate 12)
    3. Lift the grate, ensuring that good heavy lifting posture is used at all times.
    4. Place the grate on an angle on the gutter, to allow for the lifting hooks to be
       removed. (Plate 13)
    5. For extremely heavy one piece grates and concrete Gatic covers, insert the lifters
       in place and slide the lids back. Note some lids may still require two people.
