3.2.2 Non-hinged pit grates
To remove a non-hinged pit grate:

 1    Place lifting hooks beneath grate, where possible in the
      four corners of the grate (see Photo 6). Concrete lids
      may have Gatic lifting points, a key arrangement or holes
      in the lid, which may require special equipment such as
      Gatic lifters

 2    Position each person either side of the grate
      (see Photo 7)

 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 (see Photo 8)
                                                                     Photo 6 Insert hook near edge of grate
 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
