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.

Vortex doors is great, highly recommend them! They came out same day to our hotel to get the doors fixed, even though they had been here the week before and the situation this time ended up being operator error on our end. They kindly explained what was going on and worked with sensors. Great customer service by the tech on property and the company while on the phone. Thank you for your help and we will continue to recommend you!
