Our line of cast steel hatches now available in 17 sizes
- Baier is the only manufacturer of cast steel flush hatches which are heat treated for strength and hot dip galvanized for corrosion resistence.
- With a typical design load of 8,500 lbs over 100 square inches at the center, the Baier Hatch offers the barge owner an inexpensive solution to man hour costs when de-gassing without compromising the deck strength.
- Our steel flush hatch is designed for use on ferries, barges, and other marine applications where heavy vehicle traffic prohibits the use of aluminum hatches. Additional applications include large fishing vessels, certain US Navy and Coast Guard vessels, and work boats where the strength and durability of steel is required.
