Dock Door Energy Loss
When Was the Last Time You Looked at Your Dock Enclosures???
Old, worn out dock enclosures don’t do anyone any good.

Dock Seals Dock Shelters

Dock Door Energy Loss
Ordinary dock shelters or inflatable dock shelters cannot seal hinge gaps created by swing-out trailer doors!
Additional air gaps occur due to insufficient pressure from traditional Monofilament side curtains against the trailer or trailer doors!
www.RiteHite.com
Dock Door Energy Loss
Exposed hinge gaps on all trailers with swing-out doors are equal to a minimum 0.25 m2 opening*1) in your building wall (for every loading dock position):
• Energy loss can cost hundreds of Euro’s per loading dock position per year
• Trailer hinge gaps also allows rain, dust and bugs to enter
• Cold air, rain and snow increase worker discomfort and can create hazardous conditions on the loading dock
*1) Opening may increase due to insufficient pressure from traditional side curtains against the trailer!

Dock Door Energy Loss
Typical savings per loading dock per year:
• € 250 to € 1000 because energy is escaping through trailer hinge door gaps!
• € 250 to € 1000 because energy is escaping through both bottom corner gaps (side frame)!Eliminate costly repairs:
• Ranging from several hundreds up to thousands of Euro’s per loading dock position!
Average payback time within 12 to 24 months:
• Positive cash flow of € 1000 to € 2500 over an average 7-year product life cycle!

Dock Door Energy Loss:No white light!
• Energy escapes• Negative pressure sucks bugs and dust in• Quality audits• Dock shelters, which enclose the entire back of a truck are
more energy-efficient which reduce outside air exchange.• Dock shelters most likely won’t be found in warehouse
facilities built on spec because they’re more expensive than typical dock seals.
• Regularly checking and repairing gaps in the seals around loading-dock doors is a quick energy saver.

HVLS fans – Not just for summer!
• Save energy by improving air circulation, allowing the temperature setting to be lowered by as much as 4.5°F (2.5°C).
• If the space is not air conditioned, using large ceiling fans can improve employee comfort, morale, and productivity.
• Large ceiling fans also reduce heating costs in winter by recirculating the higher-temperature air that tends to stagnate near the ceilings of warehouses.

Advanced Dock Controls for Ultimate Energy Efficiency
Supply Chain Integrity Sequence: • Green light on the inside control
box is required before loading dock door can be opened.
• Dock door must be completely raised before dock leveler can be operated.
• When unloading/loading is complete, dock leveler must be stored before door can be closed.
• Dock Door must be closed before Dok-Lok can be disengaged.
• Traditional “Closed Door” Sequence
