Creates a tight seal between dock and vehicle for safe, clean, and weather protected loading. Cuts dust, rain, and temperature loss, keeps staff and goods protected year round.
Dock shelters form a flexible enclosure around the truck to block air and contaminants. Frames are designed to absorb vehicle movement, while curtains or cushions adjust to different truck sizes. Materials are weather resistant and tear resistant with reinforced wear points. The system reduces energy loss from HVAC, improves working comfort, and protects goods from rain and dust. Options include retractable, cushion, and inflatable types, plus accessories like dock bumpers, traffic lights, guide rails, and dock lights. Integration with dock levellers, sectional doors, and interlocks ensures safe sequencing of door and vehicle operations. Maintenance is simple with replaceable front panels and easy access to hardware.

Retractable suits mixed fleets and frequent hits, cushion gives better insulation for regular truck sizes, inflatable gives the tightest seal for cold rooms.
Yes. Shelters are sized to your bay and fleet. Retractable and inflatable types adapt well to varying vehicle dimensions.
By reducing air exchange, shelters cut HVAC loss significantly. Savings vary by temperature difference and cycle time, cold storage sees the highest benefit.
Curtains use heavy duty PVC or coated fabrics with reinforcement at wear zones. Frames are galvanized steel or aluminium for corrosion resistance.
Yes. Interlocks ensure the door opens only when the truck is docked and the leveller is positioned. Traffic lights guide drivers safely.
Inspect curtains for tears, check hardware and springs, clean surfaces, and replace worn bumpers. Panels are modular, so front flaps can be replaced quickly.
