Loading Dock Seals

Our dock seals form a tight, gasket-like seal around three trailer sides at the loading dock. The trailer compresses into the foam side pads of the dock seal when it stops against the loading dock bumpers. This compression effectively seals the gap between the trailer and the dock position.

Achieving maximum environmental control at the dock involves sealing the gaps around the trailer. This not only prevents outside elements such as rodents, bugs, rain, wind, dust, and other pests from entering your facility but also offers several benefits:

Reduced energy costs
Minimized contamination of facility interiors
Protection of valuable products and cargo from weather-related damage
Preparedness for audits and inspections
Creation of a safe and comfortable work environment for employees

We offer a range of dock seals with detailed features and information on durability and sealing efficiency, empowering you to make informed decisions for your warehouse or facility.

Loading Dock Shelters

Dock shelters are enclosures that provide a high sealing efficiency wiper seal against the sides and top of the trailer. Our dock shelters are made of industrial fabric curtains held in place by fiberglass stays.

Our dock shelters cater to various loading dock design objectives and budgets. The top seal is formed by a curtain extending down to the trailer, with options for weighted or fabric construction and self-adjusting or pull-rope adjustment based on the model. Side curtains may or may not feature sealing around trailer door hinge gaps.

Benefits of our dock shelters compared to dock seals:

Accommodate larger dock door openings.
Offer unobstructed access to trailer load.
Service a wide variety of trailer heights and styles.
Endure less daily wear and tear, as the trailer doesn't compress them, reducing pressure on building walls.

However, some models may offer lower sealing efficiency, particularly when trailer door hinge gaps are left unsealed. Additionally, shelters with non-impactable side frames can sustain severe damage from trailer impact, necessitating costly repairs or replacements.

Although generally pricier than dock seals, dock shelters vary in price based on durability and sealing effectiveness. The price reflects features for tight sealing along trailer sides, upper corners, and across the top, as well as differences in side frame construction.
