During a rain shower it is common for rain to fall on the top of the trailer and run towards the back of the trailer and down onto the loading dock.
The optional RainStop seal is purposely designed to block rain from running back along the top of the trailer and down onto the loading dock. The RainStop full width head pad is constructed using a stiffly sprung 5 ½” thick foam filled head curtain that pushes down on the top of the trailer creating a positive seal.
This positive seal prevents the rain from running off the top of the trailer down onto the loading dock potentially causing water damage to the product being loaded onto the trailer and also prevents a slippery and dangerous condition for the loading dock attendant.

The RainStop seal is available as an option for a Pentalift Model PS100 Fixed Head Pad dock seal or Pentalift Model PS200 Adjustable Head Curtain dock seal. The RainStop seal is also available as a post-sale accessory to retrofit or upgrade an existing dock seal installation.
