Two exciting new designs address user-identified challenges: 

    • Low Profile model – Useful where clearance between deck and engine or other equipment is at a premium. Only 2.62 inches from deck top to bottom of hatch! 

    • Hidden-Hinge models that lock open in two positions and work well in a vertical bulkhead-type application as well as flush-deck positions. 

Baier Marine also distributes the barge and towboat hatch and deck fitting product line of our parent company, UMC.
