The preventive maintenance program: an investment that pays big
Energy costs in a warehouse can easily escalate. Fortunately, implementing a preventive maintenance program helps limit this cost while optimizing daily performance. You can for example set up the Pitmaster system of Rite-Hite in order to optimize the operation of your levelling bridge.
More specifically, the loading dock pit generally constitutes an open space, exposed to cold or heat depending on the season. This can represent huge expenses that you can easily avoid.
Don’t wait until the electricity bill is too high before taking action.
Pitmaster, an efficient sealing system
Pitmaster is a device for sealing the front part of the loading dock pit. In this way, the latter is no longer exposed to the outside environment, which significantly reduces energy loss.
On the one hand, there is no more transfer of hot and cold air since the openings are sealed. On the other hand, the Pitmaster avoids the phenomenon of heat transfer via the levelling dock. In the end, you save a lot.
How does it work ?
Sealing the front part of the levelling pit with the Pitmaster creates an air pocket below the dock leveller. This then acts as a thermal insulator and helps prevent energy dispersion. Whether it’s cold or hot air. Energy expenditure is then controlled day after day and the economy remain valid whether or not there is a truck on the dock.
Multiple benefits
Ultimately, investing in the Pitmaster system pays for itself within a short period of time. Thanks to its various options, this device therefore saves energy, but not only. It is a system that allows you to ensure the cleanliness of your facilities and reduce the risk of obstruction. At the same time, servicing and maintenance of the loading docks are made easier.
