The covers in Ramla are generally made of metal

 

or concrete

 

, but there are also plastic (composite material) covers

 

.
Their shapes are round

 

, square

 

, elliptical

 

, or rectangular

 

.
In many cases, when round covers are intended for sidewalks, they are surrounded by a square frame, which greatly facilitates the paving work around them

 

(these are essentially all the square covers found on the site).

The covers in Ramla are neither colored nor golden.

Covers intended for the Ramla Municipality usually bear the municipal emblem

 

or the inscription "Ramla Municipality"

 

.
Many covers are intended for the water corporation “Tamar”, which serves the city

 

.

As in other cities in Israel, a relatively large number of covers intended for other cities (category “Bug”) was found

 

. Also in the “Bug” category are covers belonging to water corporations other than “Tamar”

 

.

There are also covers intended for consumers that are not necessarily municipalities or local councils. These covers are not tied to any particular city and can be found throughout Israel. Examples include covers for Bezeq

 

and Ayalon Highways

 

.

The function of the cover is usually indicated on it (water

 

, sewage

 

, communications

 

etc.), so the number of covers in the “Unknown” category

 

is relatively small.

On many of the covers in Ramla the year of manufacture appears

 

.

In general, the cover designs in Ramla are not unique and follow designs typical of the manufacturer.

Manufacturers
The manufacturer’s name usually appears on the covers, and most of the covers are produced in Israel by several leading manufacturers - Menashe Baruch

 

, Solid

 

, A. Telitmacher

 

and others.
It is rare to find covers produced in other countries, but they do exist, such as a cover produced by the French company Norinco

 

.

Standards
The cover standards include standards unique to Israel: the Standards Institute of Israel mark

 

, and Israeli Standard 489 (equivalent to the international EN124 standard)

 

. In addition, the international EN124

 

standard appears, as well as the various load ratings (B125-D400)

 

. Additional standards appear mainly on covers not produced in Israel.
