Dock Seals

Dock Seal with Head Pad

Model DS

Dixie Dock Model DS Dock Seal provides maximum energy savings in a weather tight enclosure. When seals are compressed properly they form an effective seal that retains cool air or heat and blocks dust, rain, wind, snow, and fumes from entering the dock area.

Dixie Dock Seals are constructed with durable high quality vinyl coated fabric with resistance to wearing, tearing, and the elements. We use a highly resilient polyurethane foam to help maintain the pads shape. The pads are mounted on kiln dried pressure treated wood backing for longer life. All pads are vented with brass grommets for air and moisture release. A 4" guide stripe the entire height of the vertical pad is standard. All installation hardware is included with seals.

Options: 18" or greater Head Pad to accommodate taller

Dock Seal with Head Curtain

Model DS/F

Dixie Dock Model DS/F consists of two vertical side pads and a full width head curtain which will accommodate a variety of truck heights. This model is manufactured with the same materials and design as the DS model. Tapered top is mounted on a pressure treated 2 x 4 atop the vertical side pads and affixed to the wall of the building.

Our non-sagging design utilizes a 3/4" galvanized pipe for front edge support. Stays provide for support in the top of the curtain. The curtain is held tight by straps on each end. Head Curtain models are suitable for door openings over 9' high.

Options: Split curtain with Velcro. Adjustable rope pulls to allow adjustment of curtain height. Foam sewn in face of curtain.

Rigid Dock Shelter

Model RS

Dixie Dock Model RS Rigid Frame Truck Shelters are mounted directly to the building allowing trucks to back into them. The top and side curtains flex inward with a wiping action, forming a seal on the outside of the trailer. This allows full access into the rear of the trailer. The top of the shelter is sloped to prevent water from standing on top. Steel bumpers are used to protect the shelter.

Wear pleats are added to the curtain to help absorb the impact of the corner of the trailers. Wear face on bottom corners of verticals absorb impact of trailers corners. Tapered draft pads behind side curtains help decrease air flow.

Insect Barrier Screen

Dixie Dock Insect Barrier Screen offers protection from flying insects, birds and rodents, while allowing fresh air to be circulated throughout your facility. It also provides security against unauthorized visitors and intruders. Insect barrier screens are available in sliding, spring loaded and motorized roll up models. The vinyl coated polyester mesh fabric permits air and light to enter your facility, and helps turn the dock area into a safe, comfortable work environment.

The mesh fabric is fire retardant and mildew resistant. Applications for insect barrier screens are found in food processing, storage, and production facilities; as well as dairies, pharmaceutical and baking industries.
