Series 0401 Stationary Rigid Door Shelter


Stationary Truck Dock ShelterThe 0401 is perfect for dock openings up to 11' x 10'.  It is one of the most versatile shelters available. The Series 0401 allows complete and unobstructed access to the full width and height of the trailer interior and shipping door while providing outstanding weather protection.

It covers a wide variety of door sizes and handles an even wider variety of trailer sizes.  The 0401 requires little maintenance or service and has an extremely long life span. 

The frame is made with sturdy galvanized tubing that will not warp, rot or twist. The unit sides and top are covered with rigid translucent plastic. A tight seal is maintained against the sides and top of the trailer body through spring like fiberglass stays built into the side and top curtains as well as a foam bead at the leading edges.

A large selection of tough abrasion resistant fabrics -- including vinyls, hypalons and neoprenes -- makes this unit an excellent long lasting investment

The Series 0401 creates a tight seal that blocks out foul weather, insects, dust, dirt, and may reduce pilferaging, while saving money on energy costs.
