Dock Seal & Dock Shelter FAQs.

 

At Sylvester's we get asked about Dock Seals & Dock Shelters in Denver, Colorado every day.  We put together this Frequently Asked Questions to help in your planning.

  • What is the Difference Between Dock Seals and Dock Shelters?

    • Dock Seals are vinyl covered, foam pads that fit tightly around the trailer to create an air-tight seal. Dock Shelters, on the other hand, provide a flexible enclosure around the trailer with no compression between the trailer and the dock facility face.

  • How do Dock Seals save energy in the Loading Dock area?

    • Dock Seals eliminate leakage of air to and from the facility.

  • What materials are used for making Dock Seals and Dock Shelters?

    • Dock Seals are usually made with Foam Padding covered with heavy-duty vinyl. Dock Shelters are made from heavy-duty fabrics and fiberglass stays.

  • What is the average lifespan of a Dock Seal or Dock Shelter?

    • Depending on usage and periodic inspection & repair, Dock Seals and Dock Shelters will typically last 3-5 years and then require replacement.

  • What is the cost of Dock Seals and Dock Shelters?

    • Prices for Dock Seals and Dock Shelters vary widely, but typically range from $3,000 to $30,000.

  • How do Dock Seals & Dock Shelters reduce heating and cooling costs?

    • Dock Seals and Dock Shelters, when installed and maintained properly, help enhance insulation to prevent the transfer of air from the environment to your facility. By keeping the air transfer reduced, temperature fluctuations are reduced as well thus reducing the workload of HVAC systems.

  • Is my Cargo protected when a Dock Seal or Dock Shelter is in use?

    • Yes. As long as the Dock Seal or Dock Shelter is installed properly and properly maintained, the trailer, cargo, and employees are all protected from snow, wind, rain and cold or hot temperatures.

  • What are the additional benefits of a Dock Seal or Dock Shelter?
