Dock Shelter

Dock shelters are enclosures that insulates the doorway where there is usually a dock used for loading and unloading by providing enclosing or seal for the perimeter of the trailers.   The shelters are made of brush resistant fabric to prevent wear and tear. There are numerous benefits of using dock shelters as they can fit at any height and styles, they help insulate and prevent damage on the doorways and also the loading truck . The primary purpose of dock shelters is to provide optimum sealing between your firm's buildings and vehicles. By providing an optimum seal between internal and external areas, these stable and durable shelters can keep your goods safe from external contaminants. This means that when your goods are needed, they won't be blighted by dirt.

There are many types of dock shelters and we sell three types - Retractable/curtain type dock shelter , inflatable dock shelter and dock seals. Dock Shelter is more expensive and is better at sealing effectiveness. Read the different types of dock shelters here.

Retractable/Curtain Dock Shelter

​

---

Retractable Dock Shelter is one of the economical and affordable types of dock shelter.  They can be effectively used to cushion and product the goods against rain and weather.

The panels are made from high resistance PVC reinforced with double weaving of polyester which is helped to sea vehicles of different shapes

It has retractable steel framework with hinged arms which provides shelter if there is misalignment behind the dock bumper and the shelter easily retracts without damage to the shelters.

Inflatable Dock Shelter

​Inflatable dock shelters are used to provide tight barrier between the mounting and the striking surface which helps seals any air gaps.  They provide the most effective weather protected passageway between the building and the truck.

The best advantage of this dock leveler is that the vehicle does not have to push towards the shelter. This is achieved by the shelter inflating around the docked vehicle to provide complete seaming.

The cushions can be easily retracted once the loading is done and the vehicle can be unrestrained and leave the dock area.

This dock shelter requires the use of wheel guides so ensure correct alignment of the vehicle when reversing against the dock shelter.

When not in use inflatable dock shelters are kept in the deflated position increasing the life expectancy of the product.

These type of dock shelters are easily interlocked to the overhead door, vehicle restraint or dock leveler to further automate a controlled environment during the loading/unloading operation. The inflatable design minimizes abrasion and eliminates pressure on the building wall often associated with a compression seal.
