5. Single folding type/Multi folding
type Hatch Cover: It is a pair
consisting of two panels and is
driven by a hydraulic cylinder.
When the cylinder pushes the
panels through the end hinge arm,
the hatch cover is folded and moves
along the rail at the same time and
opened fully. The major advantage
with this design is the large size of
covers which means less panels are
required.

separate panels for each hatch
opening. The lift-away panels are
operated vessel’s cranes or shore
side container cranes. The hatch
cover panels can be stowed on
top of adjacent covers which are
placed on the quay or the ship’s
deck.
