Dock seals compress directly against trailer sides and top — best for consistent trailer sizes. Dock shelters use a frame with flexible curtains that wrap around varying trailer dimensions — better for mixed trailer fleets or high-wind loading environments.
With proper maintenance, 5–10 years. Face fabric and foam compression are the primary wear items. Annual inspection catches tears and foam set before they lead to energy loss or weather infiltration.
Yes — dock seals surface-mount to the dock face and can be fitted to most existing openings. Wilcox provides complete measurement, supply, and installation with no major structural work required.
Inflatable dock seals provide the tightest seal for refrigerated and controlled-atmosphere operations. They expand to fill irregular gaps between trailer and dock face, minimizing thermal transfer.
Annual inspection and face fabric replacement as needed. Foam-core seals should be checked for compression set — permanently compressed foam loses sealing performance. Our PM programs include dock seal inspection as part of full dock assessments.
