Loading Dock Seals & Shelters MA & CT

Imagine a protective structure, like a shield, installed around the perimeter of your facility’s loading dock doors. This is what loading dock seals & shelters in MA & CT do. They create a secure seal between the building and the back of a trailer, ensuring no unwanted elements enter the loading dock. Seals, often made of foam pads, compress against the trailer, forming a tight seal. Shelters, on the other hand, are like fabric curtains that create a barrier around the trailer opening.

Dock seals, perfect for smaller door openings and trailers of consistent size, work by compressing foam to create a snug fit. They are usually mounted directly to the dock face and provide a tight seal by compressing when a trailer backs into them. Dock shelters, designed for larger door openings, are the more flexible choice. They consist of fabric curtains supported by a sturdy frame, which extend and flex to accommodate different trailer dimensions. Both types of equipment are excellent for maintaining a controlled environment inside the loading dock area.

Would definitely call them again!

After backing into my garage door I called Northeast Overhead Door. They quickly came out to view the door and gave me an estimate. After my OK they scheduled my replacement and came out to do the job. The two young men arrived, introduced themselves and went to work. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and wanted to make sure I was happy with the job. I was happy and would definitely call them again if I need work done.

What a lifesaver!

Our garage door spring snapped and since we use the garage as our primary entrance to our house, this made it difficult to get in and out. Northeast Overhead was able to come out the same day we called to replace the spring. It is difficult to find companies with such a prompt response these days. Very happy with their service at our home and their office staff was very attentive as well. Thank you Northeast Overhead door!
