Xcluder Dock Leveler Rear Hinge Seals feature Xcluder Fill Fabric — a blend of stainless steel and poly-fiber that the company claims is impenetrable to rats and mice, proven effective by the USDA APHIS Lab. The seal also features durable PVC-coated vinyl to minimize air exchange and reduce the infiltration of outside contaminants, creating an energy-saving weather seal. By effectively sealing the dock leveler’s rear hinge against pests, outdoor contaminants and light, the Xcluder Dock Leveler Rear Hinge Seal supports SQF, BRC, GFSI and AIB compliance, according to the company.

“Thoroughly sealing a loading dock area against rodents is critical not only to protecting the health of those within, but also to complying with safety regulations and certification programs,” said Troy Bergum, sales manager, Xcluder. “Loading docks are a prime target for rodents and we’re proud to offer our customers another solution to effectively safeguard this area and maintain compliance with auditing standards.”
