  • Extra wide head members, 18″ to 30″, are available to allow varied truck height coverage.
  • As an option, a chain-weighted drop flap can be sewn to the foam head pad to service and occasional lower truck and can be held out of the way with Velcro fasteners.
  •  FIXED HEAD PAD DOOR SEAL – Compression dock seals provide the most effective seal and are the most economical solution. Foam-filled side pads and fixed head pad – for servicing vehicles of the same size.

LOADING DOCK SHELTERS

  • Designed to service a variety of truck sizes and types, regardless of dock door size
  • As a truck backs into the shelter, the face curtain wraps around the sides of the truck to ensure positive weather protection
  • Allows for full truck opening accessibility and accommodating both 8’0″ and 8’6″ wide trailers
  • A rigid framework combined with a wide range of curtain fabrics make a dock shelter suitable for even the heaviest traffic applications

2 Common Types – Rigid and Inflatable

  • STATIONARY RIGID DOOR SHELTER – The unit sides and top are covered with rigid translucent plastic. A tight seal is maintained against the sides and top of the trailer body through spring-like fiberglass stays built into the side and top curtains as well as a foam bead at the leading edges.
  • STATIONARY INFLATABLE DOOR SHELTER – Inflatable Shelters are the optimum truck shelter solution. They eliminate the usual wear and tear normally found on standard truck shelters and are the best solution for any size door opening. The tear-proof fabric was developed specifically for inflatable shelters and will provide years of trouble-free service.
