Stationary Truck Shelters | Maximum Protection & Efficiency
Wilcox Door Service Inc. provides high-performance Stationary Truck Shelters designed to deliver weather protection, energy efficiency, and full trailer access at busy loading docks. Built to accommodate varying truck sizes, these shelters offer long-term durability and improved dock safety for high-traffic operations.
How Stationary Truck Shelters Work
A Stationary Truck Shelter is designed to create a protective barrier between the truck trailer and the dock door while allowing full, unobstructed access to the trailer’s interior. Unlike dock seals, truck shelters use flexible side and top curtains to accommodate a wide range of trailer heights and widths.
When a truck backs into the shelter, the side and top curtains flex to form a tight seal, preventing air exchange and weather infiltration. The stationary frame ensures consistent performance, reducing maintenance while maximizing efficiency for high-traffic loading docks.

Stationary truck shelters provide full access, superior weather sealing, low maintenance, and long-term durability for industrial, commercial, and distribution facilities.
