Which Dock Seal / Shelter is Best?
When specifying dock seal / shelter sizes, keep in mind your goal for your application may require one feature greater than another.
In most cases, it is not practical to install a variety of dock seal configurations to accommodate the uncommon trailer sizes. For that reason, it is important to ensure that what is specified will seal the majority of vehicles. Many configurations are available to meet your specific needs.
Blue Giant dock products are suited for light, medium and heavy traffic areas based on the number of trucks per shift and loading dock practices. Choosing the proper base fabric and contact face will play an important part in achieving your goals.
