About Gatic
Gatic is designed for areas where ground access covers are exposed to very high loads and operational reliability is critical. In airports, terminal zones, service areas, and other surfaces with heavy or fast traffic, it is essential to have an access cover that remains stable, watertight, and capable of handling high loads over time. With load classes up to F900 and gas-, dust-, and water-tight construction, Gatic is a reliable choice for these demanding environments.
Gatic is available in multiple standard sizes and can be supplied as a single lid, channel lid, or complete lid set with beam. Custom dimensions are also available to meet specific project requirements, making it easy to select the right ground access cover for your project.
