Dock Seals and Dock Shelters
U.S. Materials Handling supplies dock seals and dock shelters that enhance loading dock efficiency, reduce energy loss, and improve worker safety. By forming a tight seal between the trailer and the building, these products protect goods, employees, and equipment from weather, dust, and pests.
What Are Dock Seals and Dock Shelters?
Dock seals use foam-filled pads that compress against the sides of a trailer, creating a secure seal. Dock shelters use fabric-covered frames that allow trailers of various sizes to back into the dock while still providing a barrier against outside elements. Both systems reduce air infiltration and protect products during loading and unloading.
Benefits of Dock Seals and Dock Shelters
-Longer lifespan than traditional wood pallets
-Lightweight but strong, reducing shipping costs
-Easy to clean and sanitize
-Consistent sizing for automated material handling systems
-Resistant to mold, bacteria, and insect contamination
