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.

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.

Patrick from the West Valley location was extremely helpful and efficient! He was able to fully diagnose two problematic commercial door issues, one of which we have had looked at multiple times by other technicians. Before he left, he made sure we had an idea of what it would cost for repairs. Thank you Patrick for your dedication to doing the job right!

Claire S.

Eric and Ismael were super kind and efficient. Another company installed a door at our warehouse, poorly, which caused us to shut our business down for a few hours. We called Vortex to come and fix the door for us, within an hour they were here and these guys knew what they were doing, fixed all the issues, and got us back in business quickly.
I really appreciate the professionalism, efficiency and knowledge.

Another gate issue. But I wasn't stressed out this time because I know where to call.
Vortex was the one. Eddie and Robert came and fixed the problems and done. I'm glad now I know where to call and not wasting time other companies trying to get a quotation. Thank you, Eddie and Robert!
