How to choose the suitable dock shelter?

Cargo loading and unloading is an important part of the warehousing and logistics field.A set of professional loading and unloading area planning,can effectively improve the access efficiency, reduce operating costs.Dock shelter is one of the most important parts of loading and unloading. Industrial door closed in the non-working state, to maintain the indoor and outdoor airtight isolation; When entering the working state,the industrial door opens, the loading and unloading platform and the dock seals synergistically, so that the compartment and the indoor formation of the closed loading and unloading environment, to prevent the entry of external debris, air currents, rainwater, etc.It can ensure that loading and unloading of goods work convenient, clean and safe.

There are four main types of dock door seals: mechanical door shelter, sponge door shelter, inflatable door shelter and loading and unloading tent. I will tell you the difference between them and their respective characteristics, so that you can choose a more suitable dock shelter.

Mechanical door shelter

The curtain panel is made of double-layer polyester fiber elastic strength fabric with pvc coating on the surface.Reflective yellow guide strips are used on both sides of the flanks.The side frames are connected by hinges to resist extrusion, and the top frame is inclined to facilitate drainage.The door cover consists of the front frame, the rear frame and the connecting arm, the whole frame is galvanized for corrosion resistance, and the surface is fixed and decorated by anodized aluminum alloy profiles, which is beautiful and generous.

Features: forming a closed loading and unloading environment; wider range of applicable models; lower requirements for wall bearing strength.

Sponge door shelter

The curtain is made of polyester fiber elastic strength fabric with pvc coated surface, filled with high elastic performance sponge with a maximum compression ratio of up to 75%.Fabric secured with screws and metal grommets to always ensure that the air is evenly spilled when under pressure.The pleated pages are distributed on the two sides and the top, which are wear-resistant and resistant to extrusion.

Features: Tighter sealing protection; Optimal choice when truck dimensions are uniform; Top curtains come standard with fixed sponge construction, drape and adjustable options are also available; Walls are required to carry pressure-carrying capacity.

Inflatable door shelter

The surface is made of high quality neoprene fiber rubber with high wear-resistant material, which can meet the service life of not less than 30,000 times. Both sides and the top airbags will firmly wrap the rear part of the compartment after inflation.The two side airbags adopt L-shape structure, which ensures that the bottom of the two side airbags will form a tight seal with the wall.The width adjustment range is up to 1600mm, and the length adjustment range of the top airbag is 1200~1500mm, which is suitable for various chassis heights of trucks. Adopting large air volume motor, it can be installed outdoors and work stably under bad weather (-30℃~60℃).

Characteristics: Applicable to various car models; best sealing effect, minimize energy loss during loading and unloading, especially suitable for warehousing and logistics and cold storage with high sealing requirements.

loading and unloading tent

Adopting 42mm,50mm,75mm thickness polyurethane boards to build.It is a more economical solution for logistics passages, especially for the cold storage building space which is high cost of land.Transferring the unloading position to outside the building, it can realize the maximization of the storage area, and achieve the double effect of high efficiency sealing of the building and sealing of loading and unloading.It contains loading and unloading rooms, loading and unloading platforms, and door sealing series, etc..

Features:Saving indoor space; avoiding secondary remodelling construction; one-piece assembly is more convenient.


Choosing the right dock seal can help you minimise energy loss and improve access efficiency, thus reducing the operating costs of your business. Make your loading and unloading work more convenient, clean and safe.
