PitMaster® X Under-Leveler Dock Seal
Benefits
Want to reduce energy loss at the dock while maintaining a clean pit?
A PitMaster X under-leveler seal can help you save substantially on energy costs. Without a PitMaster, the front of a typical dock leveler pit is fully open to the outside environment. Open spaces allow airflow in and out of your facility, and heat is constantly transferred through the steel deck of the dock leveler.
Sealing the front of the leveler pit with PitMaster has these benefits:
- Energy savings: Closes open spaces that dock seals and shelters don’t address, helping to prevent the exchange of hot and cold air through your dock leveler pit opening and through the leveler deck itself.
- Thermal insulation: Securely encloses the front of the leveler pit to create a pocket of "dead air" beneath the dock leveler, which acts as a thermal insulator to keep heating or cooling inside your facility.
- 24/7 effectiveness: Results in greater energy savings, whether a trailer is parked at the dock or not.
- Backed by a limited 12-Month, Limited Money-Back Guarantee of Customer Satisfaction. Standard Warranty includes 12-month parts and labor.
How would a cleaner, more energy efficient loading dock benefit your operations?
Some facilities might not realize how much energy they're losing through each leveler pit or how much they could save by sealing off the front. Here are a few ways your workers and your environment could improve.
- Reduced energy loss: The front of a typical dock leveler pit fully opens to the environment outside the building. PitMaster X minimizes airflow through openings in the leveler pit. An insulating dead-air cavity results, reducing the transfer of heat into or out of your facility through the steel leveler deck.
- Facility cleanliness: Helps prevent dust, pests, and debris from collecting in leveler pits or entering the facility through open gaps, which improves industrial hygiene and sanitation.
- Help pass inspections: Rite-Hite's optional Lip Corner Seals, Filler Pads and Lip Hinge Seals work to seal additional air gaps and daylight around the leveler and bumpers. This helps your facility pass audits and inspections while further increasing energy savings.
- Free energy savings analysis: Contact your Rite-Hite Representative to learn how much energy is escaping at every dock opening, the associated energy costs and how much you could save by installing a PitMaster.
Could sealing your dock opening on all four sides save you money?
