Gatic Lifter – Lid Lifting Handles & Clutches
Civilcast Gatic Lifters, part of Civilcast's Civil Consumables range, are short and long handle lid lifting tools (also known as mascot keys or lifting keys) used to lift gatic-style ductile iron covers for access to communications, sewer and stormwater pits and chambers. The compact, ergonomic handle design is intended to reduce manual handling strain and WHS risk during heavy-duty use on civil construction sites. Two handle lengths are available: a small standard D-handle lifter and a long shaft handle, both Australian safety standards compliant. Civilcast supports the range with warehousing across Sydney, Queensland and Victoria, supplying civil construction, drainage, telecommunications, sewerage, HV electrical and road work projects nationwide.
Features
Civilcast Gatic Lifters are built around a compact, ergonomic handle designed to reduce manual handling strain during heavy-duty use lifting gatic-style ductile iron covers. Two handle lengths cover both shallow and deep pit access, with both options compliant with Australian safety standards.
- Short standard D-handle and long shaft handle options

Benefits
A purpose-built, compliant lifter brings together three advantages over an improvised tool: less strain injury risk for crews lifting covers repeatedly through a shift, less risk of damaging the cover or injuring the user, and one tool that covers both handle lengths instead of needing separate lifters for different lid types or pit depths.
- Lighter, ergonomic handling reduces the risk of strain injuries for crews lifting covers repeatedly through a shift
- A compliant, purpose-built lifter reduces reliance on improvised tools that can damage the cover or injure the user
- One tool covering both handle lengths means crews don’t need separate lifters for different lid types or pit depths
Applications
Gatic Lifters are used wherever gatic-style ductile iron covers need to be lifted by hand: civil construction and drainage sites, telecommunications and sewerage access points, and HV electrical and road work projects. With warehousing across Sydney, Queensland and Victoria, Civilcast supports this range nationally rather than limiting supply to a single state.
- Civil construction and drainage sites
- Telecommunications and sewerage access
- HV electrical and road work
