Yacht equipment
Hatch and door engineering
Shell doors and hatches on a yacht have to close flush with the hull, seal against the sea and open on demand.

What we engineer on a hatch or door
Take the whole machine or single work packages.
Door or hatch structure
Stiffened panel matched to the hull form.
Hinges and kinematics
Hinge type and geometry for the opening you need: side-hinged, top-hinged, gull-wing or sliding.
Locking and sealing
Cleats, locking cylinders and seals.
Actuation
Hydraulic or electric actuation, with the opening forces.
Strength, buckling and fatigue
Hand calculation and finite element analysis of the structure, pins and connections, with assumptions and results written so a surveyor can follow them.
Drawings and bill of materials
General arrangement, weldment, machining and assembly drawings with a structured bill of materials.
What you receive
A package your purchasing, production and certification people can work from.
If you need the equipment built as well
Most clients want engineering only. Some want one party responsible until the machine is on the truck. You choose how far we go.
Engineering only
You receive the complete design package and build it in your own works or with your own suppliers.
Engineering with production follow-up
We stay on the project while it is built: supplier questions, drawing revisions, inspection of critical welds and dimensions, factory acceptance test.
Engineering and manufacturing
We have the equipment fabricated, assembled and tested by qualified workshops to our drawings and under our technical supervision, and deliver it to you with its documentation.
More equipment in this group
The same engineering scope is available for the neighbouring machines.
