Features and Benefits of roof access hatches

Sliding roof access hatches come with many advantages over their hinged counterparts. While both are made from high-quality aluminium, steel, or stainless steel and are designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate, here’s why our team at AHSS recommends sliding access hatches:

• The unrestricted opening makes transferring materials onto the roof safer and easier
• The sliding mechanism means the hatch lid won’t slam shut in the wind
• There’s no financial outlay for gas refills or maintenance
• They are easy to install and have a low visual profile
• They feature a clear entry point
• They feature high-strength welded framework construction
• They are suitable for all roof types
• They can be customised for special needs, including ventilation and natural light
• Operates safely in windy outdoor conditions
• High strength welded framework construction and slide on a strong steel rail system that is both weatherproof and secure
• Unrestricted opening enables safe and easy material handling onto roof
• Standard and custom sizes available with option for powder coating
• Wheels on the runners can be adjusted to suit different roof pitches

Dedicated roof safety systems, for instance, roof platforms, walkways, and roof guardrails, are legally required around the roof hatch. This is a good reason to take note of unsuitable access hatches and to avoid them. Any item or structure not capable of meeting OSHA structural load requirements should not be used.
