Langmatz QaBo polycarbonate manholes
Modern polycarbonate manholes
concrete manholes are predominantly used for this worldwide – primarily from historical habits or local availability.
However, the following increasingly applies from a technical and economic point of view: modern polycarbonate (PC)
manholes are significantly superior to concrete manholes.
Langmatz polycarbonate manholes are designed as cable draw manholes for telecommunications and energy distribution
and have been used in civil engineering since the 1990s. Today, they represent a European gold standard for polycarbonate
manholes.
Langmatz QualityBox polycarbonate manholes have evolved to become a global product. It was time to develop a
corresponding brand name. Hence QaBo – with “Qa” standing for the quadratic elements in every QaBo frame,
underscoring its characteristic design. Its proven quality and functionality naturally remains unchanged.
As secure cabinets for energy and data lines, cable draw manholes are a central component of infrastructure projects,
such as the extension of optical fibre and electricity networks, electric charging stations, and 5G. They impress through
their low inherent weight, cost-effectiveness, rapid installation, and structural integrity. This makes them an efficient and
versatile alternative to heavy concrete manholes, and enables our customers to use them in a wide range of applications.
High-quality polycarbonate (PC) is the plastic used by Langmatz. PC has excellent rigidity, strength, and heat resistance,
as well as very good resistance to weathering and radiation.
We have integrated predetermined breaking points into the frame elements to ensure the fast and cost-effective
installation of the manholes, which can be simply opened for the use of flexible pipe inlets. Modular basic polycarbonate
manhole kits enable customers to accommodate numerous manhole heights, depths and widths. A wide range of
cast-iron, concrete, or paveable manhole covers ensures that they can be seamlessly integrated into the cityscape.

Development and production: Made in Germany
Langmatz develops and produces in Germany. Our decades of experience in injection moulding guarantee the highest level of quality and durability. Our modern machinery and stringent quality controls – including incoming goods inspections, batch monitoring and 3-point bending tests – guarantee consistently high product quality. Langmatz also has a unique static load hydraulic press that is able to simulate all pressure loads relevant for road construction.
Cover design and in-house manufacturing
Cover designs meet stringent DIN standard requirements. The high rate of in-house manufacturing, which ranges from processing the steel sheet metal to the finished cover, ensures durable and standard-compliant products. These are monitored externally in accordance with DIN EN 124.
Sustainability and recycling
Langmatz adheres to a sustainable approach to production by shredding high-quality plastic waste, and returning it to the production cycle by compounding.
