Dock Shelter and Dock Seal Selection Guide for Loading Bays

Why Loading Bay Sealing Matters

Dock shelters and dock seals help close the gap between the truck and warehouse opening. They can reduce dust, rain, wind and temperature loss during loading operations.

The right selection depends on vehicle size range, dock height, door opening size and the level of sealing required by the facility.

How to Choose

Dock shelters are flexible for mixed vehicle fleets, while dock seals provide tighter compression sealing for more consistent truck sizes.

• Use dock shelters for varied truck heights and widths
• Use dock seals when stronger thermal sealing is required
• Confirm bumper position and vehicle approach angle
• Match the shelter with sectional doors and dock levelers
