Since the development of the first containership, TTS Ships Equipment has been involved in the creation of lift-on/lift-off hatch cover systems. The use of advanced stress calculation systems and computer aided design technology for the steel structure enables the hatch cover panels to accommodate higher container loadings, while keeping panel weights within the permitted maximum for handling by shore cranes. The portfolio of TTS hatch cover types includes single flap, folding, multi-folding, lift-on/lift-off, piggy back and side rolling.
'TTS has wide experience in design, fabrication, project management and aftersales activities for all types of merchant ships and mega yachts,' says Karsten Kroschel, sales and project manager at TTS Ships Equipment. 'We're now putting renewed focus on our aftersales service, operating around the clock to support the entire TTS range of products.'
