Preventive maintenance of your loading docks during winter

As winter approaches, preventive maintenance of the equipment on a loading dock is required. This maintenance is an opportunity to verify and ensure their proper functioning, whatever the weather. It is also important for preserving equipment, optimizing employee comfort, safety and saving on energy costs. The PitMaster is one of the solutions to consider in this context.

What is the PitMaster?

The PitMaster is a sealing system for the pits of a leveling bridge on a loading dock. This product is among the most popular on the market today because of its quality and efficiency.

It consists of a waterproof curtain which acts as a protective barrier against external aggressions. It is also possible to combine it with other accessories to optimize the safety of the equipment and the interior of the building.

The PitMaster then offers an effective barrier against dust, waste or insects from outside. These impurities can become encrusted through the openings that are created when the leveling bridge is raised in the absence of protection. This equipment then guarantees cleanliness within the loading dock and makes it possible to limit the contamination of goods and people as much as possible. More importantly, its use is essential to pass hygiene checks in most cases.

Energy saving

Leveling bridge inevitably means heat exchanges. The small openings that are created when the leveling bridge is raised allow the entry of a flow of cold air coming from outside into the building and hot air also escapes from these holes.

The presence of the PitMaster prevents these phenomena from occurring and considerably reduces energy consumption.

The PitMaster provides an interesting preventive option for sealing the pit of a leveling bridge. It is easy to install / uninstall, strong, sturdy and durable. In addition, its waterproofness prevents moisture from reaching your equipment and therefore keeps it in good condition throughout the seasons.
