What are Access Hatches by EJ Made of?

EJ has a wide range of access hatches that are made available in the following materials: aluminium and ductile iron.

Aluminium
The durable aluminium access hatch by EJ comes with the following features and options: a stainless steel hinge, aluminium plate treated with safety sure grip, regular or non-treated aluminium plate, a lift handle and a slam lock with an optional T-handle or a slam lock with plug. Aside from that, security options include a penetrated plug and post key, exposed padlock, recessed padlock clip in closed or open position.

Accessories can be added to the access hatches, like nut rails which offer attachment points for nut and bolt systems, conduit clamps, and other connectors; a safety chain which acts as a barrier while the hatch doors are open, and a skirt or riser which is built to match the slab thickness.

SAFE HATCH® Safety Grate System is built with all stainless steel hardware with grates that can withstand adverse environments. A 300 psf pedestrian rated fall through protection is also provided by this product.

Because this product promotes safety, the doors can't be closed unless the fall through protection has been put back into place. This ensures the protection of the next operator. An orange safety aluminium grate acts as a barrier protecting anyone from the risk of falling into the pit. The bright orange colour makes the hazard evident.

Ductile Iron
The ductile iron access hatches are the ideal products for heavy duty traffic and load rated areas of Class D & G. Commonly used for many seaports and airports, ductile iron hinged hatches allow for easier and safer access to underground utility infrastructures. Heavier load capable covers are easily lifted because of its standard mechanical strut.

Standard features of the ductile iron hatch include an EON LOCK®, Lift Assist, multi-tool pick bar, MPIC® and bolting. The accessible door can open up to 105 degrees and 90 degrees with the safety catch. A ductile iron grate can substitute the cover depending on the client's preference. EJ also allows the customisation of the covers by enabling clients to incorporate a special lettering or their logo. As an added bonus, clients can also request for the cover to possess water resistant properties.

EJ is committed to taking their innovation to new heights. With the continuously evolving world and the technological advances that come with it, EJ ensures to continually improve every product they produce for market.
