Applications
The retractable shelter suits docks that need full access to the trailer bed, and busy docks where a trailer may back into the shelter: the frame retracts instead of taking the hit. Standard units fit trailers 12′ to 13’6″ high at a typical 4′ dock height, and extra width, height and head-curtain drop are available for other openings.
