Abstract: An insulative blanket is sized and shaped to cover a dock leveler deck and the gaps between the deck and a surrounding dock platform to prevent the transfer of heat through the deck or across the gaps. A batten structure is combined with the blanket such that the combination forms a relatively rigid structure which can be easily placed and maintained in its desired position. The combination is raised and lowered by an attached line and a suspended overhead container is provided to further collapse the combination as it is raised and stored within the container.

Abstract: An overhead door with rollers on its sides is provided with a pair of elevated, non-vertical tracks into which the rollers move as the door is moved to the open position. The door is opened by cables that extend from a pair of drums, to pulleys at the distal ends of the tracks, and then to the top corners of the door. Provision is made for transitioning curved portions of the tracks, and, in some cases, vertical portions below the curved portions, by a plurality of links provided between the cable ends and the door upper corners.
