 |  | WHAT IS A DOCK SEAL OR SHELTER?
 | Definition: Dock seals and shelters are fabric structures that surround the top and sides of a loading dock door opening. Dock seals and shelters are designed to be contacted by the trailer as it backs in to the loading dock. Lack or loss of environmental control through an unsealed door can create safety and productivity problems on the loading dock including: employee discomfort, energy loss, theft or security concerns, product damage or contamination, insect infiltration, slippery or dangerous conditions, and loss of temperature control.

| Every loading dock sealing situation is unique and to determine your specific needs, examine the following factors: situation, environmental control, access, long life, support and options. See Dock Seals & Shelters Selection Guide for more detail. |
