Hatch Post Catch
A simple hold-open solution for offshore hatches
Achieving safety through simple engineering
When using a hatch in offshore conditions, the weight of the hatch combined with the potential for high winds in exposed locations can be a significant safety issue for operators.
A solution for ensuring the hatch is held safely in the open position is our hatch post fixing catch, a simple but effective latch that fixes to an adjacent post behind the hatch and allows the hatch to be pushed back and catches it from falling. This can simply be released by pulling up the handle.

The latch is constructed from a high grade stainless or similar material, and can be adapted to easily fit to the project FEED construction specifications.
