Dock Seals & Shelters


logospaceSteel Guard’s Serpent-Seal™  Line of Dock Seals & Shelters gives you the flexibility for a variety of Trailers, Lift Gates, and dock loads that give you a tight-energy saving seal in your dock area, with long-lasting worry-free access.

Steel Guards Serpent-Seal™ Dock Seals allow for Truck Trailers up to 8’ to conform to a tight seal around the edges of the dock seal.  Benefits of the Serpent Dock Seal:

DS32
  • Double-Layered Reinforced Side Members -  Two layers of heavy-duty fabric(vinyl/hypalon) is sewn over the front and the interior sides of the dock seal for extra protection against wear and a longer life.

  • Foam Head Member – to accommodate large truck heights as well as chain weighted drop valance to seal the occasional lower truck.

  • Steel Guard Pleats -  allow for a longer life span by effectively stopping wear when the trailer moves “up” and “down” on the dock seal from forklift access and weight fluctuation. (Optional)

  • Wedged Side Members – extend the foam into the door opening to seal the trailer and stop wear and damage to the wood backboards. (Optional)

  • F-Flap Head Member – designed to accommodate generally 10’ and higher dock heights. The F-Flap contacts a 4” thick foam pad sewn into heavy-duty fabric with extra wear areas on contact points.  The F-Flap can be unhinged with straps when the full height of the door is needed. (Optional)

  • Adjustable Head Member – allows for the seal to accommodate any truck height by simply using the pulley system to move “up” and “down” as the truck backs into the dock area. (Optional)
