Good air holding
New inflatable hatch seal for hatch covers
Checkmate Flexible Engineering has developed the new inflatable hatch seal for hatch covers, ’tween decks and dividers for use when bulk cargo contamination or loss has to be prevented.
The flexible, abrasion resistant tube is made from reinforced Nitrile/ PVC rubber which is highly resistant to water, ozone, sun and oil exposure. It also provides good air holding at high pressures.

Checkmate developed effective, low-cost tooling and our very own test rig to dramatically reduce costs in mission-critical scenarios across Spain, Germany, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea.

Case Study
Beach Recovery Vehicles
The Royal Marines’ BRV can be damaged if water enters above maximum wading depth. Checkmate designed and built flexible intake and out-take covers which can be quickly closed to protect the vehicle.

Case Study
