Access Hatch Load Requirements


Let us help you find the right features for your hatch from our selection of standard assemblies, or speak with your local EJ sales
representative about your project to have us custom build to meet your exact specifications.

Load Requirement Definitions


Non-traffic Load Requirement
· Non-traffic, pedestrian rated
· Material is aluminum
· 300 lb per sq ft live load
· Deflection shall not exceed 1/150th of the span

Unintended Vehicular Traffic Load Requirement


· Unintended vehicular traffic
· Material is aluminum
· 20,800 lb (16,000 lb plus 30% impact factor) on a 10" x 20" tire
contact area
· AASHTO H20 Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges*
Do not place in wheel line

Vehicular Traffic Load Requirement


· Heavy duty vehicular traffic
· Material is ductile iron
· AASHTO M 306 loading*
· 40,000 lb (16,000 lb plus 250% safety factor) on a
9" x 9" tire contact area
· Proof load tested for 1 minute without failure

Airport Load Requirement


· Extra heavy duty airport and port authority traffic
· Material is ductile iron
· Proof load tested on a 9" x 9" tire contact area to a minimum of
200,000 lb

*AASHTO H20 per the Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges is theoretically
calculated using safety factors vs actual proof load testing for AASHTO M 306
Standard Specification for Drainage, Sewer, Utility, and Related Castings.

Frame Types
It all starts with the right foundation. We offer two main frame types—channel frame for keeping water out of your structure and angle frame
when it isn't as critical to keep water out.

Channel Frame
Help to keep rainwater out of your structure
by using channel frame hatches for
non-traffic, pedestrian rated to unintended
vehicular traffic rated applications.*

cover and drains through an integrated drain

Forming Skirts

The EJ custom fabricated, leave-in-place


aluminum forming skirt system works with
aluminum or ductile iron hatch lines to create
a frame height that matches any concrete
top slab thickness. Precasters and general
contractors can eliminate the time and
material consuming operations of building
and removing temporary frames. These
fabricated skirts integrate to allow “set and
pour” ease of installation.

Benefits
· Custom sizes–any height can be
accommodated
· Reduce time and labor costs:
· No need to build a temporary frame
· Leave-in-place form eliminates the need
to remove form after concrete pour
· Works with optional SAFE HATCH® Safety Product shown upside-down.

· Creates a smooth interior opening

Access Hatch Solutions Ductile Iron Hinged Hatch Access Assembly

DUCTILE IRON HINGED HATCH


ACCESS ASSEMBLY

Ductile iron access hatches have been


designed for improved ergonomics, and are
available in heavy duty and airport extra
heavy duty applications.

On a cover that can weigh as much as


550 lb, the lifting force required to open the
cover is less than 35 lb due to the uniquely
designed mechanical strut.

The self-engaging safety bar provides added


protection while the underground
infrastructure is accessed, and safety grates
can be specified for added fall through
protection.

Standard Features Wide Availability of Sizes


· Ductile iron frame and cover Shown below are just a sample of the various cover openings and sizes. See the table below for the full range of

fully self-contained, protecting coils from exposure to
the elements.
