Folding Hatch Cover · Hatch Covers & Cargo Access
On piggyback decks where space is a premium, MacGregor’s Piggyback Folding Cover provides a flexible solution for cargo hold access. This weather-tight cover, designed to be hydraulically actuated, can fold into compact spaces, making it ideal for vessels that need to maximize deck utilization without sacrificing functionality. The cover consists of four panels and is available in Side-Rolling, Folding, Piggy-Back, Lift-On/Lift-Off, Single-Flap, Stacking, and Hydraulic-Pivoting configurations to suit various ship designs and operational needs. Regular inspections are crucial to ensure safety and longevity; areas such as gummidichtungen (gaskets), hydraulic cylinders, and drainage systems require careful monitoring to prevent issues like corrosion, wear, and blockages that could compromise the integrity of the cover and the cargo hold environment.
