This variety of sealing system is made with a fabric covered foam. It is mounted on to the wall around the top and sides of the loading dock door that provides a seal when the back of the truck compresses against it.  This type can protrude into the trailer opening slightly and interfere with loading and unloading.

There are various options to suit standard door sizes, volumes and weather conditions.

This loading dock sealing system offers a rigid or flexible frame.  The frame is also installed on the building wall around the door, but the trailer backs inside of the frame and and seals the outer-walls around the back of the trailer, providing open access to the entire trailer’ opening.

There are several options to suit larger door sizes, insulation factors and volume.
