This Retractable Rail Shelter can be created for door openings up to 10’ W x 10’ H. Designed to provide an air-tight passage way from the loading dock to the railcar door. When the spring loaded shelter is released it automatically extends and seals itself against the railcar. The rail shelter can manually retract when not in use to protect from moving railcars. Creates an air-tight seal blocking debris and other unwanted particles from entering.
