Standard doorseal vs Adjustable doorseal

A doorseal is designed for an economical way to form an air-tight seal between a building and the back-end of a trailer. They are foam pads that the trailer compresses into when it backs in and comes to rest against the dock bumpers, forming a seal around three sides of the trailer.

How to know which one is the best fit for your warehouse needs. Here are the differences between a standard dock seal series 101 and the adjustable dock seal series 201.

Standard dock seal series 101

Designed to work best where the vehicles are generally a standard size, the 101 is an economical way to form an air-tight seal between the building and the back-end of the trailer for dock openings up to 8’x 8’. The resilient foam pads can be covered with a large selection of tough abrasion resistant fabrics creating a tight seal that blocks out the foul weather, insect, dust and may reduce theft, while saving money on energy costs. The Series 0101 Dock Seal will increase the comfort and productivity by increasing safety, protecting personnel, products and equipment.
