Steel Scaffold Hatch Decks
Steel scaffold hatches are components of platform scaffolding, integrated with a trapdoor mechanism and an access ladder. Called steel scaffold hatch decks, steel scaffolding hatch platforms or steel scaffold platform with trapdoor.
The steel scaffold hatches are combined with walk boards, entrance ladders and a trapdoor mechanism, which function as scaffold stairs. Compared with traditional access parts such as scaffold stairs, scaffold platforms, and scaffolding trapdoors, steel scaffold hatches are more integrated, saving materials, erection time, and labour, and increasing safety during construction.
Steel scaffold hatch decks are made from steel scaffold boards, which are more cost-effective than aluminium hatch decks and aluminium-plywood hatch platforms.
Size & Specifications
Steel scaffold hatch decks are in standard sizes of 600mm wide and 1.0m to 3.07m in length. Customised sizes are available too. The access entrance ladders can be fixed to the hatch platform or separated from it, and can be connected to the platform by ladder hooks during erection.
Steel scaffold hatches are compatible with different scaffold systems, including tube clamp scaffolding, ringlock scaffolding, cuplock scaffolding, kwikstage scaffolding, etc.

Usage of the Scaffold Hatches
Scaffold hatches are used in a wide range of construction. You can find it in industrial, civil, commercial, and oil and gas scaffolding, etc.
Beyond modular scaffold systems, scaffold hatches are used in multi-purpose scaffolding systems, frame scaffolding, aluminium folding scaffolding, steel baker scaffold systems, etc.
Wellmade scaffold hatch access ladders are able to be closed when you are not using them. Therefore, it is easy for transportation and stock. More than that, it is flexible too; you can open the trap doors from the top or from the bottom.

Other Types of Metal Scaffold Hatches
Aluminium Scaffold Hatch
Aluminum scaffold hatches are fabricated with the aluminum platform, aluminum ladders, and aluminum trapdoors. Sometimes, clients also ask for steel scaffolding ladders instead of the aluminum ladder.
Among the aluminum components, the aluminum platform with anti-slip surface treatment for construction safety considerations. Aluminum scaffold hatches are at a higher cost than aluminum plywood and steel scaffold hatches. But it is able to serve you for the longest time.
Aluminum Plywood Scaffold Hatch
An aluminum plywood scaffold hatch is a ladder access hatch with aluminum frames and a plywood platform. It is lightweight too, which is the same as the aluminum scaffold hatches. But the plywood scaffolding platform raw material cost is much less than the full aluminum platform.
In fabrication, Wellmade uses special marine-grade film-faced plywood for your scaffold hatch platform. Marine plywood is anti-slip and water protective. Thus, the aluminum plywood scaffold hatches are the most welcomed hatch doors for safety construction.
The aluminum plywood scaffold hatches are designed to work with two types of ringlock scaffold horizontals: Ringlock O ledger and Ringlock U ledger.
- If you want the scaffold hatches to work with ringlock O ledger, you need to use O hooks scaffold hatch planks.
- When your project use the ringlock U ledger, you need to choose U type hooks to match up with the horizontal parts.
O hook aluminium scaffold hatch planks include two pieces of wind protection locks. They used to lock the planks on the ringlock ledgers and ensure the safety of the construction platform.
For U-hook aluminium hatch planks, you can erect the lift-off preventer to protect the scaffold hooks from lifting in bad weather.
