LOADING BAY SOLUTIONS
Dock Shelters
Rigid and flexible shelter systems that enclose the gap between the dock opening and the vehicle, providing superior weather protection and energy efficiency.
Get a QuoteFull Enclosure for Maximum Efficiency
Dock shelters extend outward from the dock face to surround the rear of docked vehicles, creating a protected working environment. Unlike door seals which compress against the vehicle, shelters form a rigid or semi-rigid enclosure that shields the entire loading area from wind, rain, and temperature extremes.
