Gate Hardware
Purpose-made to improve safety and operations offshore, our gate hardware is designed to retrofit easily into existing gate and rail systems, delivering dependable performance and long-term durability in demanding environments.
Hatch Hardware
Replacing worn or outdated hatch hardware doesn’t need to be complex. Our retrofit hatch solutions are designed to slot seamlessly into existing offshore structures, providing reliable operation, improved safety, and long-lasting resistance to the harsh marine environment.
Bespoke Retrofit Solutions
When standard options don’t fit, our engineering team develops custom hardware tailored to your existing structures. From unique dimensions to specialist offshore requirements, we deliver retrofit solutions that integrate seamlessly and perform reliably.
Our Process
1. Assessment & Consultation
We begin by reviewing your existing gate or hatch installation, understanding site constraints, functionality needs, and any challenges. Our engineering and design teams engage early in the process.
2. Design & Engineering
We tailor hardware solutions that integrate perfectly with your structure. Prototypes are tested for dimensions, materials, corrosion resistance, wind loads, and performance. You get design files, documentation, and installation instructions.
3. Manufacture & Production
After the design is finalized, your retrofit hardware moves into production at our UK facility. Our engineers oversee the process from start to finish, ensuring the components are built to offshore standards, with the durability and precision needed to perform in harsh marine environments.
4. Delivery, Installation & Support
We handle all shipping documentation, ensure traceability, and provide you with clear installation instructions, videos, and ongoing after-sales support to ensure a smooth retrofit.
Upgrade the safety of your platforms
Whether in renewables or oil & gas, our solutions ensure your existing gates and hatches are replaced with hardware designed to enhance safety, reliability, and performance across your offshore platforms.
