Dock Shelters are designed to protect goods, personnel, and equipment at loading docks by providing a barrier against weather elements and enhancing energy efficiency. The Dock Shelter is used with doors up to 10'W x 10'H. The dock shelter reduces oversized doors to match truck openings. The long wear fabric is highly resistant to abrasion and tearing. Fiberglass staves are sewn into the flaps. Seal is formed along the sides and top of trailer when the vertical and top panels are pushed inward by the trailer. Recommend minimum 10" trailer penetration for a good seal. Supporting structure is made of 2" x 4" wolmanized lumber. The top header piece measures 132"W and contains a drop curtain which measures 36"H. Two vertical pieces measure 126" tall with vertical flaps measuring 21"W. When installed, the shelter will close the door opening down to 90"W x 90"H (between flaps). Includes two yellow steel guide protectors and foam-filled corner draft protector pads for extra sealing action. Units are non-returnable.
What is the difference between a Dock Seal Vs. a Truck Shelter?
A dock seal is traditionally designed to enclose a loading dock reducing its width to an optimal 7'6", while a truck shelter is designed to allow full access to the trailer without restricting the available space around the door. Truck shelters typically afford service to a wider range of trucks than a dock seal as well, due to the nature of the seal. When a vehicle docks with a shelter the curtains with spring steel stays slide along the side of the vehicle rather than compress like a dock seal.
