High-Velocity Heating Solution Rapidly Warms Docked Trailers to Improve Worker
Comfort, Safety and Operational Efficiency
Saint Charles, MO – January 26, 2026 – Reznor® and Roberts-Gordon® will officially launch its
new docked trailer heater (DTH), a dock‐mounted, high‐velocity heating solution engineered to rapidly warm
docked trailers, at the 2026 AHR Expo.
AHR attendees are invited to attend a free session – “Dock and Go: The Dock Trailer Game Changer”
– to see the new heater in action and learn more. The presentation, which will take place Monday, February
2, from 10:15 to 10:35 a.m. in Theater B, will be led by Anna Sarvello, Sr. Director of Strategy and
Marketing at Reznor/Roberts-Gordon.
The DTH technology is designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in warehouse and
logistics operations: cold trailers at the dock that slow productivity, increase safety risks, and negatively
impact worker comfort. Mounted directly at the loading dock and integrated with dock doors, the system
delivers heated air directly into docked trailers, significantly reducing warm‐up time and helping operations
maintain throughput in cold weather.
“Cold at the dock impacts people first and when people are affected, productivity and safety follow,”
said Sarvello. “The docked trailer heater was engineered to remove cold as an operational constraint, helping
facilities move trailers faster while providing a safer, more comfortable environment for workers.”
Engineered for Dock Efficiency and Year‐Round Use
Key features of the DTH include:
• High‐velocity heating designed to rapidly condition parked trailers
• Dock‐mounted installation with dock door integration for streamlined operation
• Heat plus fan‐only mode, enabling year‐round functionality
• Multiple unit sizes to accommodate varying dock configurations
• Simple, user‐friendly controls to reduce operator error
