Tutte le coperture delle navi che hanno una maniglia possono essere spostate su Shabbath. R. Yossi ha detto: A cosa si applica questo? Ai rivestimenti del suolo [La gemara afferma che tutti concordano sul fatto che è consentito spostare i rivestimenti delle navi anche se non hanno la maniglia. E con i rivestimenti del terreno, come i rivestimenti di pozzi e cisterne, tutti concordano sul fatto che se i rivestimenti non hanno manico è vietato (spostarli). Dove differiscono? Per quanto riguarda i rivestimenti delle navi attaccate al suolo, uno che ritiene che siano considerati come il suolo e l'altro, che non sono considerati come il suolo. L'halachah è conforme ai saggi, che ciò che è attaccato al terreno è considerato come il terreno]; ma con i rivestimenti delle navi, in entrambi i casi (ovvero, che abbiano o meno maniglie), è consentito spostarli su Shabbath.
Bartenura on Mishnah Shabbat
במה דברים אמורים – In the Talmud (Tractate Shabbat 126b), that regarding a lid of vessels, everyone agrees that it is permitted, even though it lacks a handle, and with ground openings, such as the covering for a pit and a cistern no one disputes that it is forbidden if it lacks a handle, but they argue with a handle of a utensil attached to the ground; one opinion holds that it is like the ground and the other opinion holds that is not like the ground; but the Halakha is according to the Sages that what is attached to the ground is like the ground.

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
All lids of utensils which have a handle may be carried on Shabbat. Since the lids have handles, they may be carried on Shabbat independent of the vessels which they cover. Indeed, they themselves are considered vessels/utensils, since they have handles.

English Explanation of Mishnah Shabbat
Rabbi Yose said: in reference to what is that said? In the case of lids which cover the ground, but lids of vessels may in any case be carried on Shabbat. Rabbi Yose limits the application of the rule stated above. That rule applies only to lids used to cover holes in the ground. These may only be carried on Shabbat if they have handles. If they don’t have handles, it looks like one is using them to permanently cover a hole in the ground, in which case this would be too similar to “building.” If they have handles, then it is clear that they will not be used to permanently cover the hole. However, lids of vessels (i.e. pots and pans) may be carried whether or not they have handles. It is clear that such lids are only temporary and that they are part of the vessel which they cover.
