When it comes to maintaining an unbroken cold chain during the loading and unloading process, especially in temperature-controlled environments, having the right dock shelter system is absolutely critical. At Ulti Group, we understand that not all vehicles are created equal — and that’s where the Ulti Endura Dock Shelter truly shines.

This innovative shelter solution is designed to give you the best of both worlds: the durability and resilience of fixed side curtains, paired with the flexibility and sealing efficiency of an inflatable header. It’s ideal for facilities that service a variety of truck heights, from towering long-haul trucks to shorter metro delivery vehicles.

 

Built to Withstand the Toughest Conditions

What sets the Ulti Endura apart is its robust side curtains, constructed from a highly durable, impactable fabric. These curtains create a tight seal against the truck’s sides when it reverses into the dock, preventing air exchange and ensuring thermal integrity. Unlike traditional inflatable models where airbags can be prone to tearing, the Ulti Endura eliminates this risk by using solid side curtains that flex under pressure without damage.

Even in the event of a misalignment or a forceful backing in, the side frame of the Ulti Endura shelter is designed to compress and absorb impact, avoiding costly repairs and downtime. This level of impactability means you’re not just buying a dock shelter — you’re investing in long-term performance and peace of mind.

 

Smart Sealing with Inflatable Header Technology

While the sides offer unbeatable toughness, the inflatable header unit at the top is what truly elevates this shelter’s versatility. Housed in a track system, the header inflates once the truck is in position, expanding downward to seal the gap above the vehicle. This smart design accommodates a wider range of vehicle heights, making it perfect for dynamic fleets and mixed vehicle usage.

Whether you’re dealing with high-volume, long-haul operations or rapid local deliveries, the inflatable header ensures that every truck — regardless of size — gets a snug, energy-efficient seal. This is especially crucial for chilled environments, where maintaining consistent internal temperatures during transfers is vital to preserving product quality and compliance with food safety standards.

 

Designed for Performance in New Zealand Conditions

We strongly recommend the Ulti Endura Shelter with Inflatable Header for any New Zealand-based facility requiring consistent temperature control. Its ability to adapt to various truck configurations while providing a tight, reliable seal makes it a standout solution for industries such as food processing, cold storage, and logistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Ulti Endura Shelter different from a fully inflatable dock shelter?
The Ulti Endura combines fixed, impactable side curtains with an inflatable header. This avoids the common damage issues seen in full inflatable models, while still allowing for top-sealing flexibility across a range of truck heights.

Is this shelter suitable for all types of trucks?
Yes, the inflatable header allows the unit to seal effectively against both high and low trucks, making it ideal for operations with a mixed fleet.

How does the shelter help with energy efficiency?
By tightly sealing the dock opening during loading and unloading, the Ulti Endura significantly reduces air exchange. This helps maintain internal temperatures and reduces the load on refrigeration systems, cutting energy costs.

Can it handle impacts from misaligned trucks?
Absolutely. The side frames and curtains are designed to compress upon impact, which protects both the shelter and the vehicle, ensuring longer product lifespan and safer operations.
