As winter approaches, preventive maintenance of loading dock equipment is essential. This arrangement is an opportunity to check and ensure their proper functioning, whatever the weather. This is also important to preserve equipment, optimize employee comfort and safety and save energy. The PitMaster is one of the solutions to be considered in this context.

What is the PitMaster?

The PitMaster is a sealing system for the pits of a levelling bridge on a loading dock. This product is one of the most popular on the market today due to its quality and effectiveness.

It is composed of a waterproof curtain that acts as a protective barrier against external aggressions. It is also possible to combine it with other accessories to optimize the safety of the equipment and the interior of the building.

The PitMaster offers an effective barrier against dust, waste or insects from the outside. These impurities can become encrusted via the openings that are created when the levelling bridge is raised in the absence of protection. This equipment then guarantees cleanliness within the loading dock and limits the contamination of goods and/or people as much as possible. More importantly, its use is essential to pass hygiene checks.

Energy saving

The operation of the levelling bridge inevitably involves heat exchange: on the one hand, the small openings that are created when the levelling bridge is raised encourage the entry of cold air into the building from the outside. On the other hand, hot air also escapes from these holes.

The presence of the PitMaster prevents these phenomena from occurring and allows for a significant reduction in energy consumption.

The PitMaster provides valuable preventive maintenance for the sealing of the pit of a levelling bridge. It is easy to install/uninstall, strong, sturdy, and durable. In addition, its waterproofing prevents moisture from reaching your equipment and therefore keeps it in good condition throughout the seasons.
