Hatch Cover Types

Angle Frame Hatch Covers

Angle frame hatch covers are the most economical solution for interior or exterior applications where water intrusion is not a concern.

Watertight Hatch Covers

The flood resistant, sealed, gasketed and flush mounted hatch cover is designed for applications where flooding may occur or in applications where odors and gases may need to be suppressed.

Angle Frame Retrofit Hatch Covers

The retrofit angle frame hatch cover is designed for interior and exterior applications where watertightness is not required. The frame is to be installed into an existing opening.

Hatch Cover Safety Grate

Hatch Cover Safety Grate

When in its closed position, the hatch cover safety grate provides fall-through protection while allowing limited accessibility into the vault for maintenance purposes and visibility for inspections (nominal 4” x 6” grate openings). When opened, it acts as an additional barrier to the access door opening. Since the hatch cover cannot be shut without first closing the safety grate, this fall-through system is always in its closed position when the next operator opens the hatch cover. The hatch cover safety grates operate independently of the covers reinforcing so that the cover continues to meet its specified load and deflection requirements, even if the grate is damaged or removed. The hatch cover safety grate is designed for 300 PSF loading.

Hatch Cover Safety Net

The hatch cover safety net is the most economical fall-through protection alternative. The hatch cover safety net is made of super strong polyester netting which attaches to aluminum angle anchors on the frame by corrosion resistant stainless steel hardware. The hatch cover safety net can be economically and easily retrofitted into existing openings.
