Sea-Dog Brass Hatch Handle Lift Customer Questions and Answers
Question
what is the weight capacity? access panels are 32" x 32". Wood floor over plywood sub-straight.
Asked on 07/25/2013 by UndisclosedTop Answer
Not exactly sure what the weight capacity is ... but I used two of the handles for exactly the same purpose ... for a 3ft square access cover to a crawl space. The access cover is made of 1 1/4 in plywood with a layer of Pergo flooring on top.

The largest hatch I installed mine on was approx. 12" X 36" made of 5/4" fir over 5/8" plywood. So far so good!

Don't know what the weight is but our hatch door is similar and the handle lift is enough to crack it open so we can grab and lift the panel up. Key is making sure the screws grab into real wood so that it holds.

There is no capacity on the handle. I used these for a 2 x 2 foot section of redwood deck and they are working great. However you might consider a larger size for easier pulling

Need this for crawl space lift door. The current one allows you to only lift with two fingers. I believe this would allow for at least four fingers? What is the ring dimension?

I don't have the latch handle in front of me, as I have installed in on my boat engine hatch, which is quite heavy and large. I can fit three fingers in the ring, which has made raising the hatch much easier. The latch handle is quite sturdy and I anticipate it will last for years.
