There is a beam structure which extends over the manhole, with a pivot support at one end of the beam structure, and a mobile support at the opposite end of the beam structure. The lifting mechanism is at the central part of the beam structure. The lifting mechanism lifts the manhole cover, and the support assembly is rotated about the pivot support to remove the manhole cover from the manhole.
