42.53 - Roof Hatch Safety

Tie Down’s Hatch Mate is the first roof hatch system to ensure universal mounting on either side of interior fixed ladders by requiring only six fasteners for attachment. Shipped fully assembled, its innovative design uses a chain mounted to an actuation pulley. This chain can be shortened or lengthened for roof heights up to 28 ft. Engineered for ease of use, this pulley system requires only several pulls on the chain to unlock and open the upper roof hatch and several pulls on the opposite side of the chain to close the hatch. To ensure permanent closure, the operator only needs to place the chain into the lock mounting bracket and lock with a standard lock and key.
