Dock Seals and Shelters
What is the difference?
Both dock seals and shelters from Barron Equipment have seal features that provide energy efficiency while loading and unloading trailers. The main difference between the two, are that dock shelters stick out a little further and contact the end of the truck, increasing thermal insulation and climate control. Dock shelters are better for protecting personnel and products from inclement weather conditions, while dock seals feature a head pad and side pads that help provide some environmental control and keep loading docks safe from potential damage.
Features & Benefits
Dock seals and shelters save companies thousands of dollars in heating and cooling costs each year, as well as protect equipment from damage like dust, dirt, rain, critters, bugs, etc. Dock seals provide a tight seal around the perimeter of the opening, allowing for increased energy efficiency and protecting docks from damage from incoming trailers. Dock shelter technology has improved over the past few years and now provides a tighter seal than previously and the head curtain allows trailers to be protected during loading and unloading.
