Built to Rite-Hite’s high standards for quality, Classic Seals offer traditional benefits with a range of options to increase durability and sealing effectiveness.
Features (Classic seal with traditional header)
- Rugged ArmorPleat™ protection – Available on full length of side pads, ArmorPleats provide additional abrasion protection to extend the life of the dock seal. Available in high-strength, friction-resistant Durathon® fabric.
- Head Pad Model: Traditional head pad – Foam compression head pad seals directly against trailer. Corner wear pleats provide added reinforcement.
- Head Curtain Model: Adjustable head curtain – Pull-rope activation allows flexibility to manually adjust seal to varying trailer heights to ensure most effective coverage. Corner wear pleats provide added reinforcement.
- Available Firefighter® header protection* – Optional Firefighter system prevents head pad from burning due to the heat buildup of compressed trailer marker lights.
Features (Classic seal with High Performance header)
- Rugged ArmorPleat™ protection – Available on full length of side pads, ArmorPleats provide additional abrasion protection to extend the life of the dock seal. Available in high-strength, friction-resistant Durathon® fabric.
- Triple-reinforced corner wear boots* – Multiple layers under outer Durathon friction-resistant fabric fortify corners, where earliest and most severe damage typically occurs.
- Replaceable wear components* – Corner wear boots and head curtain face are attached with Velcro and are quickly and easily replaced, if needed, for simple, low-cost maintenance or upgrades.
- Internal Firefighter® technology* – Triple-layer foil heat-dissipation system in header prevents burning from the heat build-up of compressed trailer marker lights.
- Light-blocking header face* – Mini pleats close gaps caused by seal-breaking protrusions on backs of trailers.
- Head Pad Model: Anti-sag head pad construction* – Backerless head pad with internal stabilizing panel adapts to trailer movement, preventing foam from sagging over time after repeated trailer impact and bouncing motion.
- Head Pad Model: Head pad pop-off protection* – Unique mounting allows head pad to pivot upwards freely, preventing it from becoming pried off the wall by trailers when yard jockeys are in use.
- Head Curtain Model: Impactable header frame* – Flexible framing resists damage if struck by trailer coming in too high.
- Head Curtain Model: Head curtain stability system* – Self-locking design improves sealing integrity at trailer top and eliminates the need for wind straps. Prevents curtain from blowing in wind and losing contact with trailer.
- Available PitMaster™ 4th-side sealing system* – Gaps beneath and around dock leveler and bumpers are sealed with optional PitMaster components, providing energy savings, improving cleanliness and helping pass inspections.
