BT88 SERIES

For door openings up to 8' wide x 8' high with level or incline driveways

INFLATABLE DOCK SEALS
Savings
Flexible material forms a tight gasket between the truck and
your building, reducing loss of heated or conditioned building
air.
Construction
Rugged vinyl coated nylon fabric is mounted to a sturdy 3/4"
exterior grade plywood backboard with heavy galvanized steel
channel hardware.
Protection
Tight seal can reduce product damage in bad weather and
decrease the losses resulting from pilferage.
Durability
Switch operated inflatable seals may be left retracted against
the building in good weather, reducing wear on the seal.
Safety
Seals are inflated by a low pressure blower, providing a tight
seal without exerting damaging pressure on your building or
endangering your personnel.
Versatility
Bondors's Model BT88
Unique design, with our factory mounted back board, allows
our seal to be adapted to a wide variety of truck and building
conditions.
Bondor Inflatable Dock Seals are of a one piece unitized
construction shipped ready for quick and simple installation.
The seal fits flush around an 8' x 8' door opening, and the
Bondor seal is designed to easily frame down oversize
doors where necessary. The nominal inside opening when
inflated is 7'4" x 7'10" high. For serving trucks of varying
heights, a weighted drop curtain may be furnished adding
greater flexibility to the range of truck sizes to be sealed.
Standard projection is 20", inflation time is 10 seconds.
30" projection models are ideal for edge of dock (EOD)
levelers. Material is 22 ounce vinyl coated nylon. Each
dock seal includes a standard blower with a 1/4 h.p., 115
volt, single phase shaded pole motor with thermal overload
protection. A galvanized weathershield is provided if
blower is to be externally mounted. For interior mounted
blower units, appropriate elbows are provided as required.
The blower unit carries a one year replacement guarantee.
Electric control switch by others.
Simplicity
Patented one piece "unitized" construction allows for compact
shipping and easy installation.
Visibility
Truck seals have a 4" wide contrasting guide stripe sewn on.
Projection
Standard 20" truck seal projection will seal trucks with rear
extensions up to 12" on a standard dock with 4" bumpers.
Appearance
Inflatable seals are provided with elastic shock cords to
eliminate sagging of the deflated material and retract the seal
neatly against the building.
