The Rite-Hite Pitmater system can help you reduce energy costs.
The loading dock pit is completely open to the outside environment. Open spaces let hot or cold through. In winter or summer, this can add up to hundreds of dollars that could be saved.

The Pitmaster, the waterproofing system for levelling bridges that performs and saves you money!

Sealing the front of the leveling pit with the PitMaster reduces energy loss in two ways. First, it closes open spaces, preventing the exchange of hot and cold air through the opening of your dock. Second, it helps prevent heat transfer through the leveling plate.

Tests have shown that in a heated installation, the loss of energy by a dock leveller from an unsealed pit can be considerable. In air-conditioned installations or in cooling dock applications, heat can also be transferred from the outside environment to your installation. In any case, you lose expensive energy.

How much does it cost to seal your loading docks?

How Does the Pitmaster Work?

By securely closing the front of the loading dock pit, the PitMaster creates an air pocket under the dock leveler, which serves as thermal insulation to maintain heating or cooling energy in your facility. The result? Reduced energy costs at the loading dock increased 24 hours a day, whether or not a trailer is parked on the dock.
