Dock shelter Classic

Overview
Manufactured by Rite-Hite, the Classic Dock Seal is a wall-mounted dock sealing solution offering options to enhance durability and sealing effectiveness. Key features include ArmorPleat protection, Firefighter technology and replaceable wear components.

Key features

• ArmorPleat protection – abrasion-resistant reinforcement applied along the full length of side pads, available in high-strength Durathon® fabric.
• Firefighter® technology – optional or integrated heat-dissipation systems to prevent head pad burning from compressed trailer marker lights.
• Replaceable wear components – corner wear boots and head curtain face are replaceable for fast, low-cost maintenance or upgrades.

Benefits - Traditional Dock Seal Header

• ArmorPleat™ protection on side pads to extend service life (Durathon® fabric).
• Head Pad Model: Traditional foam compression head pad seals directly against trailer; corner wear pleats add reinforcement.
• Head Curtain Model: Adjustable pull-rope head curtain for manual height adjustment; corner wear pleats provide reinforcement.
• Optional Firefighter® header protection – prevents head pad burning due to heat from compressed trailer marker lights.

Benefits - High Performance Header

• ArmorPleat™ protection along full length of side pads (Durathon® fabric).
• Triple-reinforced corner wear boots – multiple layers under outer Durathon fabric to strengthen high-wear corners.
• Replaceable wear components – corner wear boots and head curtain face attach with Velcro for fast replacement.
• Internal Firefighter® technology – triple-layer foil heat-dissipation system in the header to prevent burning from compressed trailer marker lights.
• Light-blocking header face – mini pleats close gaps caused by protrusions on trailer backs.

Benefits - Head Pad and Curtain

• Head Pad Model: Anti-sag construction – backerless head pad with internal stabilizing panel resists sagging after repeated impacts.
• Head pad pop-off protection – mounting allows head pad to pivot upward freely to prevent being pried off by trailers.
• Head Curtain Model: Impactable header frame – flexible framing resists damage from over-height trailer strikes.
• Head curtain stability system – self-locking design improves sealing at trailer top and eliminates wind straps.
• Optional PitMaster™ 4th-side sealing system – components available to seal gaps beneath and around dock leveler and bumpers to conserve energy and improve cleanliness.
