Leveler Weather Seals

Help reduce energy loss and costs
Effective seal for uneven surfaces
Help pass food audits and keep pests and environmental elements out

Which Weather Seal is Right For You?

When a leveler is installed, there are inherent gaps between the leveler and loading dock pit wall that leave openings for warm and cool air to escape, as well as letting rodents and other environmental elements into the facility. A leveler weather seals upgrade helps to seal these gaps and are essential for food safety, environmental control and separation, productivity and cost savings. Find out which weather seal is right for you today.

What are these Gaps Costing You?

If installed correctly, weather seals conform to uneven surfaces and seal the gaps between the loading dock leveler and pit wall. This simple upgrade could result in over $400 of annual energy savings per dock position while also helping to mitigate costs associated with product recalls from pest and environmental infiltration.

Benefits

  • Help keep facilities clean and compliant with food audit requirements by sealing gaps and uneven surfaces around the loading dock pit wall, leveler and dock doors.
  • Weather seals for dock levelers help reduce energy usage.
  • Help keep pests out by sealing gaps around the dock leveler, ideal for food and beverage industries.
  • Rite-Hite representatives can estimate how much energy is being wasted at every dock opening, as well as the associated energy costs and how much can be saved.
  • Often able to recover purchase and installation costs with a quick ROI.
  • Help reduce heating and cooling costs.
  • Time savings as most dock leveler weather seals easily slide in and out of a galvanized channel and don't need to re-bolt or remove the entire channel to install a brand new weather seal.
