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.
