Box Pull Cover

The box pull cover is a heavy-duty fiberglass reinforced polymer concrete unit measuring 13 inches in width and 24 inches in length, engineered to withstand heavy traffic loads with certification to AASHTO H-10 standards and independent testing for Tier 15 compliance per ANSI/SCTE 77-2007. It is designed for use in non-deliberate, incidental traffic areas outside the main roadway path and cannot be used in active travel lanes. The cover is secured to the box using two captive 1/2-inch penta-head stainless steel bolts that also function as lifting points; these bolts are self-centering and fastened with stainless steel nylock nuts to prevent loosening. The top surface must prominently emboss the Tier rating and manufacturer’s name, with the logo clearly marked as NES STREET LIGHTING. The surface must meet the friction requirements specified in ASTM-C-1028 to ensure pedestrian safety. Only the HUBBELLC1213245025K1 part number from Hubbell is approved for this requirement.
