Watertight Hatches

Custom hatches can fit any size and pressure requirement. Additional load factors such as wheel loads and point loads from material handling equipment can also be incorporated. Flush and raised configurations are available and are operable from one or both sides. Hatches are sealed utilizing individual dogs, quick-acting handwheels, or drop bolts. Larger hatches may require mechanical opening assistance like gas springs, coil springs, and counter-weights, although power operation is also an option.
