The Eclipse shelter provides an advanced, highly eff ective seal at your loading dock.
What does daylight mean at your loading dock? It means there are gaps in your environmental seal, holes through which contaminants can enter your facility and expensive energy can escape. The Eclipse dock shelter is equipped to fully obscure daylight and effectively seal these gaps, in a single piece of equipment.
-> High-strength Durathon™ Fabric
Side curtains hold up under extreme wear and tear with the industry’s only friction-resistant fabric with rugged pebble-grain surface.
-> Impactable Header
Super tough front impact plates protect weighted sealing header from trailer strikes. Pivoting header frame resists damage from trailers coming in off-center and higher than expected.
-> Slim, Crushable Side Frames
Take repeated hits from off-center trailers without damage or the need for expensive steel bumpers. Poly-wrapped foam side frames give unit stability, yet can be fully compressed — immediately returning to original shape and position if impacted.
1) Seals trailer top
Heavily weighted head curtain - Creates a tight seal along full width of the trailer, using gravity to block gaps and maintain constant contact during trailer bounce. Self-adjusts to wide range of trailer heights. Diverts rain without the need for additional overhead device.
2) Seals the corners
Integral fabric sealing pockets - Side curtains and weighted head curtain work together when trailer backs in for complete corner black-out. Sealing pockets connect sides to top, blocking gaps that other dock shelters cannot address.
3) Seals the sides
GapMaster™ hooks - Side curtains feature durable, detachable hooks to seal exposed trailer door hinge gaps without restricting access to loads. These gaps add up to over 0.25 m2 of open air if left unsealed. Outer fabric sleeves conform around hinges for a tight side seal.
4) Seals the bottom corners
Fully collapsible draft pads - Exposed bottom corner gaps add up to over 0.50 m2 open air if left unsealed. Tough, fully XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) foam design with Velcro and fasteners provide a secure attachment. Less susceptible to being torn off by trucks and trailers, providing more eff ective sealing over time as draft pad holds up better and longer.
