The Benefits of a Proper Dock Shelter
A proper dock shelter yields numerous benefits, including:

- Quick return on investment.
- Creating a safer working environment for workers in the loading dock area.
- Maintaining or increasing operational efficiency through indoor comfort.
Check for Air Leaks or White Light
An inefficient dock shelter might not be the only cause of issues you are possibly facing—the performance of a dock seal/shelter directly relates to other products as well.
Check your loading dock in four key areas to determine if your dock seal or dock shelter needs to be replaced.
- Top of the trailer: Are your floors forming puddles or ice when it rains/snows? Seal the gap between the trailer top and your dock door to prevent slip and fall hazards.
- Side of the trailer: Are you noticing white light infiltration? If so, you need to modify or replace your dock seal or dock shelter.
- Dock leveler and trailer gap: Damaged goods or injuries to personnel are the biggest indicators of an uneven level between the trailer and the dock floor. Prevent injuries and damaged goods with a proper dock leveler.
- Corners of the door: Don’t forget to seal the corners of your doors, which are common areas where insects, dust and other contaminants enter the facility.
Note: Remember that performance dock bumpers and bumper projection also affect the efficiency and longevity of any dock seal or dock shelter.
