Roof Access Hatch

The Gorter Roof Access Hatches offer safe access to the flat roof or roof terrace. Thanks to the large opening of the hatches, materials can be easily brought onto the roof. When you combine the roof hatch with a Gorter ladder, scissor stairs or fixed stairs, you will receive a complete solution for roof access.

The Gorter Roof Access Hatches are supplied fully assembled for direct installation on the roof. With a very robust construction, they are very resistant against unexpected extreme loads, both during construction and in general use.

The Roof Access Hatch can also be supplied in large dimensions, making it easier to transport materials onto the roof for, for example, maintaining or replacing solar panels.

At Gorter, we offer a complete access solution consisting of a roof hatch with scissor stairs, ladders or fixed stairs. What makes these unique is that our solutions are TÜV NORD certified. This is in accordance with the standards EN ISO 14122-3: 2002-01, EN 14975: 2007-03, EN 131-1: 2007-08, EN 131-2: 1993-04 and EN 131-3: 2010-01. Together with the CE (ETA) label of the roof hatch, the certification ensures that the risk assessment required under HSE guidelines can be quickly taken care of.

With a roof access hatch, you gain direct access to the roof. This enables you to easily perform inspections and maintenance of solar panels. But also the maintenance of air conditioning units, ventilation systems and lift machine rooms is simplified. In addition, you can easily perform the regular inspections of the roofing and water drainage systems. Click the button below to read ore about the Gorter inspection hatch solutions.

A Gorter roof access hatch is easy to install on an existing roof. Contrary to roof constructions, no permit is required for the installation of a roof hatch. In addition, the roof access hatch, with its limited weight, adds minimum load to the roof, meaning usually no additional reinforcements are required.

Electronic operation

Roof access hatches can be fitted with electronic control systems. The electronic control system can be expanded with a control module to connect to a sensor, for example to close automatically in case of rain or storms. It can also be connected to a central alarm system.
