Commander Soft-Sided Shelter

The Commander is a resilient design to handle lift gates and other specialty trailers to resist damage from off-center trucks. The Commander has fully impactable side frames and allows for full access to the trailer. The header is a rigid frame that is peaked to prevent snow and water build-up and covered with translucent fiberglass to allow the light in for the loading area.
