Why docks seals and shelters
If you think about it, each loading dock door opening (typically ranging from 8'x8' to 10'x12' or larger) represents a giant hole in the wall of your facility. Strung together, these dock openings present an enormous opportunity for bad things to enter your facility, things like bugs, dust, wind, rain and rodents, and good things like expensive heating and cooling to escape.
Loading Dock Seals come in a complete range of styles like fixed head pad seals, fixed inflatable dock seals, adjustable head pad, head curtain, inflatable dock shelter, full-access head curtain. Multiple colours or additional wear flaps available; applied to head pad corners and full height of the side pad to absorb abrasion that occurs at high wear areas.
