Roof Access Hatches

Providing safe & easy access onto the roof from inside the building

Industrial and Commercial Roof Access Hatches

A roof hatch allows for convenient and safe access and egress to rooftop areas from inside the building or ceiling space. When correctly installed with adequate safety systems, a rooftop hatch can provide a safer and shorter route for workers reducing their exposure to the risk of injury.

Anchor Safe is highly experienced in the design and implementation of roof access hatches and supporting safety systems including ladders, stairways and guard railing to ensure compliance with strict height safety regulations. Our hatches are highly cost-effective, maintenance-free and available across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Albury, and their surrounding regions.

Rooftop Access Hatches

Roof hatches are simple to operate and provide safe & easy access for personnel and equipment from inside the building. The hatches we install are lightweight and user-friendly with soft close mechanisms, single-handed internal locking levers, and maximised opening sizes to facilitate workers with tools and equipment to exit safely.

The hatches are locally manufactured from galvanised sheet steel and structural grade aluminium with the option for a powder-coated finish to minimise visual impact. Available in hinged and sliding variants and manufactured to the highest quality standards, our roof hatches come backed by our 10-year product & installation warranty.

Ceiling Hatch With Fold-Down Ladder

Where space is limited, a ceiling hatch with an integrated lightweight fold-down ladder can be installed to provide safe and compliant access to the ceiling space and beyond to the rooftop.

We offer a range of fold-down ladders and ceiling hatches, providing a space-efficient solution for ceiling and rooftop access. When not needed these folding ladders are stored neatly in the ceiling leaving the floor space to be clear for normal activities.

These fold-down access ladder systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with our roof access hatches, providing convenient and safe through-ceiling access to the roof deck.

Hatch with Fold-Down Access Ladder System Features

Suitable for ceilings up to 4.3m in height
Manufactured from high-grade structural aluminium with options for powder coating.
Industrial-rated 150kg safe working load
Soft closing mechanism, suited to frequent use
Designed to comply with requirements of Australian Standard AS1657:2018

Roof Access Hatch with Fixed Ladder or Stairway

For warehouses and industrial buildings, Anchor Safe can design and install a custom fixed ladder or stairway solution to enable safe and compliant access to a roof hatch. Fixed access systems provide an advantage in minimal maintenance and inspection requirements and are more cost-effective compared with fold-down options.

Access Hatch Guardrails

Roof access hatches can be an efficient & quick way to access a roof, but as with any void, create an inherent fall risk that needs attention. Anchor Safe highly recommend installing an Access Hatch Guardrail Kit, which is designed to provide fall protection around a roof access hatch when accessing or egressing the roof.

The roof hatch guardrail provides edge protection around the opening of the hatch while also serving as a grab rail for workers, ensuring safe transitions to and from the ladder. An optional self-closing gate can be mounted to the access opening to ensure utmost safety is upheld. Guardrail kits can be mounted to various roof profiles including concrete and metal deck.
