Fixed Dock Shelter
Shelter with Adjustable Curtain: Versatile Building Protection for Efficient Climate Control
This shelter has flexible vertical panels and a curtain to serve various trailers with different widths and heights, still providing weather protection to save on heating/cooling costs. It provides full-width and height access to the back of the trailer.
Construction Advantages
The side and top panels are covered with galvanized steel panels and trimmed with an aluminum angle for a clean, durable finish. Both upper corners of the shelter have overlapping wear pleats for added protection from trailer impacts and tearing. The top panel is peaked to drain water.
- A foam bead is sewn into the leading edge of the vertical front panels and top panel.
- Vertical panels are double-layered fabric at the leading edge of the impact area.
- The fabric is double-stitched with high-strength polyester thread that has been UV-treated for improved durability.
- Fiberglass stays are encased in multi-layer pockets and provide the vertical panels with strength (Top stays are “Z” style to keep the curtain straight)
Fabric Advantages
- Made of fire-resistant fabric and available in multiple weights, including a premium 40 oz fabric that has six times more abrasion resistance than standard fabric
- For the most punishing applications, optional premium plus fabric is recommended. It is similar to the belts used on heavy-duty industrial conveyors. It provides elevated resistance to UV, fire, abrasion, tearing, rot, stains, salts, and oils
- All fabrics are treated with UV protection to help reduce fading.
