Dock Shelter

Dock shelters are used at the loading docks of warehouses and food manufacturing plants equipped with freezing rooms where keeping strict control of temperature at the desired level is crucial.

During loading/unloading operations a trailer partially backs into the dock shelter while top and side air bags inflate around the top and sides of the truck body providing tight sealing. When not in use, the air bags deflate. This dock shelter can be controlled from a dock leveler control unit having special function of shelter operation control. It’s highly recommended to install wheel guides and shock columns in front of the loading dock when using this type of shelter. The shelter is mounted using the suspended method of installation.
