The purpose of installing dock seals or shelters is to maintain the internal climate of the facility and protect against product damage.
Use of these products has many benefits such as:
- Energy Loss Savings - Reduces heating and cooling costs by maintaining interior temperature control.
- Safe Working Conditions - Keeps weather out; eliminates rain, ice and snow from loading areas, improving dock safety.
- Merchandise Protection - Protects valuable products against damaging heat, cold, rain, snow and wind. Minimizes vermin entry.
- Security - Helps to eliminate pilferage of goods and unauthorized entry into loading/unloading areas.
- Efficiency - Seals and shelters improve the loading dock environment. Worker morale and productivity are related directly to the work place environment and its safety.
- Return on Investment - The dock seal/shelter can pay for itself in a matter of months with the cost savings it generates in energy retention.
- Increased Storage Capabilities - Positioned trailers at a loading dock can become secure, temperature-controlled extensions of the facility.
