Dock shelters and seals are essential for maintaining a productive, safe, and efficient loading dock environment. They protect goods and workers from external elements, enhance energy efficiency, and improve operational workflows, making them a valuable investment for any warehouse.

Each type of dock shelter has its unique advantages and is suited to different operational needs. Evaluating your specific requirements and operational conditions with RACO will help you choose the most suitable dock shelter for your facility.

Here are the most common types:

• Rigid dock shelter: feature a fixed metal frame with durable side and top curtains that create a seal around the trailer.
• Retractable dock shelter: its collapsable infrastructure helps in the event of any misalignment between the truck and the loading bay
• Foam dock shelter: consists of foam pads that compress when a truck backs into them forming a seal around the trailer.
• Inflatable dock shelter: provided with airbags that expand to fill gaps between the trailer and the dock, providing a tight seal
• Dock house: they allow for more efficient use of space by providing a designated area for docking activities. This can free up additional space inside the warehouse for storage and other operations.
