Project Overview

This store in Casselman had a pest problem when loading and unloading trucks with their indoor lift table. The sectional overhead door for the lift table opened at ground level, giving pests access to the store while trucks are loading and unloading. Additionally, the dock seals were in terrible condition and needed to be replaced. As a result, the store was looking for an innovative solution to solve their problem.

Custom Removable Barrier Wall

Northern Dock Systems came up with the custom removable barrier wall in the atom channel on the exterior of the doors. It consisted of three door sections with Xcluder rodent-proof weather seal on the bottom section. Furthermore, we added handles on each of the sections for easy removal of each panel.  Finally, we added latches to hold a tight seal when in place along with caps with clasps for locking on top of atom channels. This custom removable barrier wall was added to the two positions at the store where they were having this rodent issue at. 

Removable Barrier Wall with Handles

New Fixed Pad Dock Seals

After the removable barrier was installed, our technicians got to work on removing and replacing the old dock seals. We replaced the worn dock seals with brand-new Fixed Head Pad Dock Seals at each position. These dock seals will create an air-tight seal between the building and the truck during loading and unloading. As a result, it will protect the inside of the building from inclement weather, dirt, pest and insect infiltration along with energy savings.

While the 4” wear pleats create three layers of fabric protection along the dock seal for long-lasting durability.
