Loading Dock Seals & Shelters
Loading Dock Seals and Shelters are essential for creating a safe, efficient, and weather-resistant environment during loading and unloading. They provide a secure seal between the dock and trailer, protecting personnel, products, and equipment from exposure to the elements.
Dock Seals – Dock seals are typically constructed with high-density foam covered by durable, weather-resistant fabrics. When a truck backs into the loading bay, these seals compress, creating a tight barrier against rain, wind, and pests. This is ideal for docks that handle frequent deliveries with a limited range of truck sizes, as the seal’s compression design offers a snug fit, minimizing energy loss and maintaining interior temperature control.
Dock Shelters – Dock shelters are designed with flexible side and top curtains supported by a steel or fiberglass frame, forming a weather-protective canopy around the truck trailer. Unlike seals, dock shelters are suitable for a variety of truck sizes and shapes, providing flexibility for facilities that handle diverse trailer dimensions. Dock shelters offer consistent protection from the elements while allowing full access to the truck’s opening for efficient loading and unloading.
