dock seals

Dock seals help maintain a controlled atmosphere on your loading bay while shielding cargo from damage as it’s being transferred onto or out of its shipping container.

dock seals

Made from compression foam and covered with durable fabric, dock seals are mounted on the top and sides of your dock doors. As trucks back into them, the weight and pressure seal the trailers from the elements.

While dock seals are essential for climate control and weather protection, they can’t remain functional without skilled and periodic maintenance. By providing regular upkeep, Vortex technicians help improve the safety, efficiency, and productivity of your operation. We’re equipped to handle any and all issues you may encounter, including:

  • Worn Fabric and Padding: Repeated contact with trucks can weaken the fabric around dock seals, often causing it to tear. At the same time, constant pressure can compact the foam, leaving gaps around the door.
  • Weather Damage:. Because they’re exposed to weather and ultraviolet light, dock seals deteriorate quickly in some locations, requiring frequent replacements.
  • Misalignments: Repeated impacts, even at low speed, can gradually reposition the seal, making it less effective. Seals that were not properly aligned during installation won’t compress properly either, leaving gaps for rain, snow, and wind to seep into your loading bay.
  • Mold and Mildew: Dock seals exposed to rain and humidity often accumulate fungal growths, which damage their structural integrity and endanger the health of your staff.
  • Loose Mounting: Dock seals are held in place by brackets and lag screws. Corrosion and repeated impacts can damage the mounting equipment, causing the seal to become detached and form leaks.

Vortex service teams are trained to identify damage, wear, and other issues with dock seals. When problems are found, our training and tools allow us to respond quickly, repairing, replacing, and realigning seals before they harm your operation. We also keep an eye out for dirt, debris, and mold, clearing away messy buildups before they can harm the seal’s integrity.

This review is long overdue, we have a very large garage door that was poorly designed (by a different company) which has caused it to break many times. At this point I've met pretty much every tech they have and their whole team is great and has always been fair, efficient, and honest. I want to give a big thank you to John who has helped get our door functioning correctly over multiple different failures and we just had Brad come out who was just as great. We also had an issue with our front door which I didn't initially call about but they went a step above and fixed that too. Thank you for always going above and beyond.

Donald provided excellent service today! He knew right away how to go about fixing our door, replaced the piece in a timely manner, was considerate towards our clients as they walked in and out of class. He asked my opinion throughout the process and had me test it out at the end making sure I was satisfied with the work. Went above and beyond! So happy with the job! Hope we get Donald again if we ever need! Thanks vortex!

Made a request with my company Service Center, they called Vortex and they were out here with a few hours. Technician Velasquez discovered the issue’s right away and spent all the time needed in order to make sure the warehouse roll up door was fixed to his abilities and to where I needed it to be. He also recommend a few repairs and hope to have their services whenever need be!!! Thank you guys for your QUICK response and GREAT customer service!- SunRun
