Gatic 2000 access covers and drainage gratings

The unique feature of the original patented Gatic design was the closely machined horizontal and vertical seating faces of the cover and frame components which, when assembled into a complete unit, provided a cover and frame that was sealed against the ingress of dirt and water and did not rock under traffic.

Although the Gatic cover has evolved over the years from being a single Shell type unit into a system of access covers with applications ranging from pedestrian to aircraft loading, the seating principal still prevails irrespective of the size of unit or the number of cover parts.
