Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a dock seal and a dock shelter?

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.

How long does a dock seal last?

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.

Can dock seals be retrofitted to existing doors?

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.

What works best for refrigerated facilities?

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.

Do dock seals need maintenance?

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.
