Seal the gap between the dock and trailer to protect products, save energy, and keep debris out. Blue Giant offers multiple seal and shelter designs, including adjustable head pads, inflatable seals, and foam-frame, full-access, retractable, and stationary shelters, and we help you pick the best one for each bay.

Compression seals

  • Foam-filled head and side pads that compress against the trailer
  • Economical solution for common dock sizes
  • Sized to match your door opening for an effective perimeter seal

Inflatable seals

  • Adjustable, stationary, and air-frame models that inflate after the trailer is parked
  • Strong sealing performance for demanding temperature control
  • Header air-bag retraction springs and model-specific vertical bag retraction systems keep airbags clear when not in use

Dock shelters

  • Frame options from pressure-treated lumber to impact-resistant retractable designs
  • Provides side and head coverage while allowing airflow and light
  • Can be paired with bumpers, restraints, and lighting for a complete dock package
