PitMaster® X Sub-Leveling Dock Gasket

Do you want to reduce energy losses at the dock while maintaining a clean pit?

A PitMaster X sub-leveler joint can help you achieve significant savings on energy costs. Without a PitMaster, the front of a dock leveler pit is fully open to the outside. These open spaces allow air to circulate in and out of your facility, and heat is constantly transferred through the steel deck of the dock leveler.

Sealing the front of the pit with PitMaster provides the following benefits:
PitMaster Under-leveler Seal

• Energy Savings : Closes open spaces that dock joints and shelters do not cover, helping to prevent hot and cold air exchange through the pit opening and leveler deck.
• Thermal Insulation : Effectively encapsulates the front of the pit to create a pocket of "dead air" under the dock leveler, acting as thermal insulation to conserve heat or air conditioning in your facility.
• 24/7 efficiency : Generates continuous energy savings, whether the trailer is parked at the dock or not.
• Backed by a 12-month limited satisfaction warranty, including parts and labour.

Could your dock opening sealed on all four sides save you money?

Product Specifications:

• The main curtain is attached to foam support triangles installed in the pit.
• The header curtain is attached directly under the leveller and partially covers the main curtain.
• The components are made of durable 22 oz vinyl canvas, tested for abrasion and tear resistance.
• Withstands temperatures down to -40°F.
• Protected from trailer impacts and requires no regular maintenance.

How could a cleaner, more energy-efficient loading dock improve your operations?

Some facilities don't realize how much energy is lost through each leveler pit or how much they could save by sealing the front of them. Here are a few ways your teams and environment could benefit.

• Reduced energy loss : The front of a conventional dock leveller pit is fully open to the outside. The PitMaster X restricts airflow through the pit openings. This creates an insulating cavity of "dead air," reducing heat transfer to the inside or outside of your facility through the steel deck of the leveler.
• Facility Cleanliness : Helps prevent dust, pests, and debris from accumulating in the leveler pits or entering the facility through openings, improving industrial hygiene and cleanliness.
• Helps with Inspection Compliance : Optional Rite-Hite lip corner seals, filler pads, and lip hinge seals help seal additional air gaps and light inlets around the leveler and bumpers. This helps your facility pass audits and inspections while increasing energy savings.
• Free Energy Savings Analysis : Contact your Rite-Hite representative to find out how much energy escapes with each dock opening, the associated costs, and the potential savings that can be achieved with the installation of a PitMaster.
