The Patterson FHVTCD-IDL-SWITCH-TC42 is a high-velocity dock fan designed to purge trailer interiors quickly during loading and unloading. Built for rugged dock environments, this unit delivers strong airflow with a compact footprint that minimizes vertical door clearance requirements, making it suitable for trailers with limited headroom.
Construction details include a 9.5-inch by 11-inch blower wheel and a high-impact polypropylene fan housing, with a 0.5-inch inlet guard opening. The fan operates at 1,075 RPM and is rated for continuous duty, capable of sustained operation as part of a manual dock-purge process. An optional integrated 15-watt LED dock light provides illumination for work areas at the door, while the 4-way switch accessory allows convenient control of both power and light functions from a single cord. The unit is specified for ambient use up to 104°F and is designed to meet enclosed-dynamics standards (ODP) for dependable performance in busy loading bays.
Typical applications include purge and ventilation of 53-foot or similar cargo trailers during manual handling, helping to clear stale air and odors quickly. Practical considerations include the unit’s decibel level of 75 dB at 3 feet, which may influence placement and hearing protection decisions in enclosed dock areas. As a packaged product, it aligns with standard dock-height installations and can be complemented by the optional LED lighting for better visibility at the dock. Compatibility notes: the model uses a standard housing and mounting footprint suited to Patterson’s HVTC family; verify available clearance and electrical supply to ensure proper installation and safe operation.
