72" x 96" Double Leaf Domed Aluminum Equipment Hatch

72" x 96" BA-DDRHA Double Leaf Domed Aluminum Equipment Hatch

Heavy, oversized equipment can be challenging to move onto rooftops—especially when access points are too small or difficult to navigate. Standard roof hatches often lack the clearance for smooth transfers, leading to delays, extra labor, and even potential damage to expensive machinery.

The 72" x 96" BA-DDRHA Double Leaf Domed Aluminum Equipment Hatch solves this problem with a wider opening that makes lifting and transporting equipment easier.

Its double-leaf design reduces obstructions, while the domed acrylic panels bring in natural light, improving visibility and reducing energy costs.

Why Choose the 72" x 96" BA-DDRHA?

• Spacious Access: The double-leaf construction provides extra clearance, simplifying equipment movement.
• Hands-Free Operation: Automatic hold-open arms keep the hatch open, allowing safe and efficient use.
• Better Work Environment: The domed lid prevents water buildup while allowing natural light inside.
• Built to Last: Crafted from 11-gauge aluminum with a 22-gauge liner, this hatch withstands tough conditions.
• Sealed & Insulated: A continuous neoprene gasket and insulated cover help maintain indoor temperatures.
