The Patterson FHVTCA-TC42 is a high-velocity dock cooling fan designed to purge heat and odors from 53-foot trailer gaps during manual loading and unloading. Its compact 5-inch vertical profile helps conserve clearance at the dock while delivering substantial airflow to improve trailer comfort and personnel conditions. The unit uses a durable high-impact polypropylene housing and a 9.5 x 11 inch blower wheel to move air efficiently, supported by an enclosure that meets standard open-door protection (ODP) and continuous duty operation for all-day use. The fan operates at a measured RPM of 1075 with sound levels around 75 dB at 3 feet, providing a noticeable but manageable level of operation in most dock environments. Optional accessories include integrated 15-watt LED dock lights and a four-way switch on the power cord to control power and lighting without adding separate controls.
This model is built for continuous service in demanding loading dock settings, offering a practical balance of airflow, energy use, and space footprint. The unit is configured for 115V operation and can be paired with the optional lighting and switch kit to streamline setup at the dock. While the description highlights its purging capability—useful for clearing trailers quickly—care should be taken to position the fan for optimal cross-flow and to verify that the provided guards and openings meet your safety standards for local operations.
When ordering, note the part number PATFHVTCA-TC42 and the documented specifications for wheel size, housing material, inlet/outlet opening dimensions, and ambient temperature tolerance. Packaging is listed as individual units, so plan for on-site handling and mounting within your dock or trailer access area. For assistance with sizing, installation, or accessories, contact The Safety Source for guidance on compatible configurations and to confirm current options for LED lighting and power-switch integration.
