ULTIMA Connect
ULTIMA Connect™ has been developed to offer greater flexibility in pit sizes without compromising the strength of the product. ULTIMA Connect™ features a twinwall, sectional design with rings individually built from combining multiple parts. CUBIS manufacture all ULTIMA™ parts in GRP.
Glass Reinforced Polyester Resin (GRP) is an ideal material for access pit products due to its high mechanical and chemical properties, fire retardancy and the fact that it does not suffer from creep. Creep is the tendency of a solid material to permanently deform under continuous or long-term loading or mechanical stresses, such as loading from traffic.
The system comprises of corner pieces (‘hockey sticks’) and sidewall lengths. There are left and right handed corner pieces, which offers the ability to offset joints between sections in order to provide a brickwork effect. The corner pieces are referred to by the internal length on the long side.
These parts are connected using a jointing peg to form a variety of clear opening sizes.
Sidewall lengths can be used with the corner pieces to provide additional cable pit sizes.
- Fast and easy to install
STAKKAbox™ access pits are significantly faster to install than conventional alternatives, with complete installations typically taking up to one hour. This results in reduced costs for the installer. Only the largest sizes in the range require specialist equipment or plant in order to install the access pit. - Sectional & twin wall design
Pits are built to required depth by adding 150mm sections. Due to the twinwall design, individual sections are light meaning they can be manually lifted. Each access pit possesses vertical and horizontal ribs, resulting in a product that is strong vertically and on the sidewall. For most applications, ULTIMA doesn’t require specialist backfills, reducing installation costs. - Smooth outer walls with lip to ‘key in’
Gaps in the outer wall will negatively impact the effectiveness of compaction around the access pit. STAKKAbox™ pits have smooth outer walls and an outer lip which keys into the backfill. - Variability in size
STAKKAbox™ ULTIMA can be used to create virtually any conceivable access pit clear opening. ULTIMA offers a huge range of pit dimensions thanks to the large number of standard sections and the variability offered by the ULTIMA Connect system. - Flat pack
STAKKAbox™ ULTIMA can be shipped ‘flat packed’ to reduce shipping costs. A large pit, as used on power stations or waste water treatment works, could be reduced to a number of pallets rather than occupying an entire truck. - Flexibility in Construction
- Duct entries can be quickly and safely formed on site. Overbuilding or benching is easily achieved. Fine top level adjustment is possible by horizontally cutting the top section.
- Flat pack
ULTIMA access pits can be sent to site in ‘flat pack’ format, allowing for flexibility in delivery and installation.

STAKKAbox™ Modula
STAKKAbox™ Modula is a range of modular and structural preformed access cable pits, suitable for use across across all major industry sectors (in accordance with CUBIS’ installation guidelines). The system provides contractors with a means of constructing access pits quickly and inexpensively, whilst offering improved build quality, reduced defects and enhanced site safety performance. The Modula system is moulded in PP and possesses excellent strength to weight properties. Each section is ribbed internally to improve loading performance. Using the Modula system, complete cable pits can be constructed from excavation to reinstatement in less than one hour.
- Fast and easy to install
STAKKAbox™ pits are significantly faster to install than conventional alternatives, with complete installations typically taking up to one hour. This results in reduced costs for the installer. No specialist equipment or plant is required in order to install the access pit and there is no need for specialist pit builders. - Sectional & twin wall design
Pits are built to required depth by adding 150mm sections. Due to the twinwall design, individual sections are light meaning they can be manually lifted. Each access pit possesses vertical and horizontal ribs, resulting in a product that is strong vertically and on the sidewall. Most installations do not require specialist backfills, reducing installation costs. - Manufactured from recycled material
Specifying STAKKAbox™ Modula helps end users reach sustainability targets due to the material being largely composed of high-grade recycled material. In addition, Modula is completely recyclable at the end of its life. - Flexible during installation
All pits can be adapted to suit on-site conditions with standard tools- Overbuild over existing networks
- Introduce duct entries for cable entry.
- Smooth outer walls with lip to ‘key in’
Gaps in the outer wall will negatively impact the effectiveness of compaction around the access pits. STAKKAbox™ pits have smooth outer walls and an outer lip which keys into the backfill. - Flat pack option
MODULA pits can be supplied in 'flat pack' format to make shipping more efficient. - Variability in size
STAKKAbox™ MODULA can be used to create a large number of sizes due to its component design. This provides access pits with clear opening from 150 x 150 up to 1200 x 1200. Ring sections are built by combining corners (which provide 75mm or 150mm to the sidewall length) and sidewall pieces. Sidewall pieces measure 100mm, 150mm, 300mm, 375mm, 450mm and 600mm. - Manufactured from recycled material
Specifying STAKKAbox™ Modula helps end users reach sustainability targets due to the material being largely composed of high-grade recycled material. In addition, Modula is completely recyclable at the end of its life.

Access covers and frame
For roadways
- Cast iron (D400)
- Unfold up to 120 degree (to protect the engineer during installation of tube and cables in the chamber).
- Levels with the roadway
- Enclosed wedges adjust up to 3 cm on the sides to further adjust the frame and cover to the surroiding terrain.
- Can be locked with 12 mm chave Allen.
Covers for pavements - composite access overs
- Lightweight covers
Composite access covers weigh less than 30kg, allowing the covers to be easily removed. - No inherent scrap value
Covers are not attractive to thieves. Stolen covers mean costs of replacement and of guarding open access chambers. - Can be fitted with locking
AX-S™ Composite access covers are fitted with bolt-down locking which can be specified to the end user’s requirements. This prevents access to the infrastructure network below. - Long life
Composite access covers have long service life when installed, providing lower total life costs for the end user. - Anti-slip design
The tread pattern on the cover is non-slip, exceeding a Slip Resistance Value (SRV) of 80. - Permeable to radio waves

Round chamber - Pullbox Mikro
Low cost chamber
Recommended for use in green and sparsely populated areas.
Rotary molded PE (polyethylene) with PE lid.
The lid can withstand a pressure of a maximum of 1500 kg.
Comes with one or more small chambers where splitting sleeves can be placed without taking up the space for cable winding.
Polyethylene Pullbox MIKRO consists of:
Body
Cover Z600/DN 614-PE with a PE pipe
Rubber Gasket DN 614 (an additional part).
Pullboxes are made of polyethylene and they make an excellent alternative for traditional pullboxes, e.g. concrete ones. The cover can be provided with a lock. Cover Lock: Bottom View and Top View Located in the corners, front flat inlets facilitate insertion of standard pipes dia. 32mm, 40mm and 50mm into the pullboxes. Insertion of pipes can be carried out using: rubber gaskets, welded halfconnectors, welded stub pipes or threaded half-connectors with nuts. It is possible to fasten rubber gaskets and threaded half-connectors with nuts directly on a building site. Usage: Installed in underground conduit systems, the pullboxes are designed to protect small cable joint boxes (up to 170 mm in diameter) and spare cable for power engineering, electricity networks, traffic lights, telecommunication ducting, IT networks, control systems, fibre-optical systems and copper cable systems to be laid in conduit systems and microduct systems. The pullboxes enable you to form additional connections and to pull cables. Compared to ZZ-PE-1 Style ZZ-PE 1W, this pullbox is smaller in size and in diameter of the chamber of a joint closure, and in weight.
Advantages:
- light weight (Body and Cover: ca. 12 kg)
- excellent leakproofness
- easy and quick assembling
- can be installed under difficult conditions
- easy to extend a system
- easy to keep clean
- durable
