Cavotec
Hatch Pit

INTRODUCTION
Cavotec is the worldwide leader of in-ground hatch systems and was the first to
developed this revolutionary technology.

The Cavotec Hatch Pit System serves as user friendly storage device for 400Hz power
cables and other utilities, such as 50Hz supply, water, compressed air. This system
is used to service aircraft whilst parked on the ground, at the gate or in a hangar. It
