The Patterson FHVTCB-IDL-SWITCH-TC42 is a high-velocity dock fan designed to purge 53-foot truck trailers quickly during manual loading and unloading. Built to move a substantial volume of air, it helps refresh trailer interiors in minutes, contributing to a safer and more comfortable work environment at the dock. The unit’s compact footprint fits tight loading dock spaces, occupying only a small vertical profile while delivering strong airflow where it matters most.
Constructed with a high-impact polypropylene fan housing and a 9.5" x 11" blower wheel, the system is engineered for continuous duty in demanding dock environments. The fan operates at 1075 RPM and is rated to withstand ambient conditions up to 104°F, with a measured noise level of 75 dB at 3 feet, which is a practical consideration for worker comfort near the unit. Optional integrated 15-watt LED dock lights provide illumination for visibility during trailer handling, and an optional 4-way switch on the power cord allows convenient control of both power and lighting without needing extra wall switches.
Practical use of this model centers on its ability to move air efficiently while minimizing space requirements and power draw. The described features—low amperage for a high-velocity unit, compact enclosure, and optional lighting—support scenarios where trailers are loaded or unloaded in tight dock setups and low-to-moderate noise environments. The product is listed with a specific part number (PATFHVTCB-IDL-SWITCH-TC42) and includes details on package sizing as single units, aiding procurement and stocking decisions.
