Loading dock seal Performer®

Overview
The 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.
