Seal the Gap, Save Energy

Door seals are critical components of any loading bay setup. By creating a tight barrier between the dock opening and the vehicle, they prevent heat loss, block wind and rain, and keep contaminants out of your facility. The right seal type depends on your traffic patterns, temperature requirements, and the range of vehicle sizes you handle.

VARIANT 01

Inflatable Dock Seals

Pneumatically operated sealing systems that inflate around the trailer to form a hermetic barrier. They adapt rapidly to different vehicle sizes, making them the most versatile option for high-traffic loading bays.

  • Rapid inflation and deflation in 10–20 seconds
  • Adapts to varying trailer widths and heights
  • Excellent thermal insulation performance
  • Suitable for temperatures from -30°C to +70°C

VARIANT 02

Mechanical Flexible Seals

Fixed compression seals made from durable rubber, EPDM, or neoprene compounds. They use spring or compression mechanisms to maintain a consistent seal and are ideal for controlled-temperature environments.

  • Extremely durable with minimal maintenance
  • Fire-resistant options available (EI30 rated)
  • Operating range from -40°C to +120°C
  • Ideal for cold storage and food processing

VARIANT 03

Sponge Seals

Soft polyurethane foam pads that compress against the vehicle body to fill gaps. A cost-effective solution providing moderate thermal insulation and weather protection for standard loading operations.

  • Lightweight and easy to install
  • Good thermal insulation (U < 2.0 W/m²K)
  • Available in 50–150 mm thicknesses
  • Cost-effective for moderate duty cycles

VARIANT 04

Retractable Shelters

Mechanically or electrically operated shelters that extend outward to enclose the rear of the trailer. They provide full coverage and superior weather protection while retracting neatly when not in use.

  • Full trailer enclosure for maximum protection
  • Robust steel frame with canvas or PE curtains
  • Load capacity exceeding 500 N/m²
  • Electric or manual operation options
