OverviewThe Performer® dock seal by Rite-Hite is a factory-exclusive design combining pleat-free Durathon® side pads and a Firefighter® triple-layer heat-dissipating header to deliver long service life and improved sealing performance at loading docks.
Key features- Pleat-free Durathon® side pad face over a vinyl base — provides a smooth, low-friction surface that reduces abrasion and trailer wear.
- Full-height internal side pad reinforcement — protects side pads from impacts by forklifts and cargo.
- Triple-reinforced corner wear boots — multi-layer construction at high-wear points for extended durability.
- Replaceable wear components — corner boots and head curtain face attach with Velcro for quick, low-cost field replacement.
- Internal Firefighter® technology — triple-layer foil heat dissipation in the header prevents burning from compressed trailer marker lights.
- Light-blocking header face with mini pleats — closes gaps caused by rear trailer protrusions.
- Optional PitMaster™ 4th-side sealing system — seals beneath and around dock levelers and bumpers to reduce energy loss and improve cleanliness.
- High-performance header design — improves sealing effectiveness across trailer profiles.
Head Pad or Head Curtain- Head pad (backerless) — anti-sag construction with internal stabilizing panel to prevent foam deformation after repeated trailer impacts.
- Head pad pop-off protection — pivoting mount allows the head pad to lift rather than be pried off during trailer contact with yard equipment.
- Head curtain option — impactable header frame resists damage from high trailer approaches.
- Head curtain stability system — self-locking design maintains top seal without wind straps and prevents curtain blow-out in high winds.
Warranty- 36-month money-back satisfaction guarantee (with appropriate paperwork) plus standard 12-month parts and labor warranty.
