A Customer Success Story from Northern Dock Systems

Project Overview

High Energy Costs from Ripped Dock Seals

The old dock seals at this Burlington grocery store had large rips in their old worn-out dock seal. As a result, the rips and tears prevented the seals from properly sealing around trailers so condition air would escape while letting in cold drafts. Therefore, energy costs were unnecessarily high.

Fixed Head Pad Dock Seal

They contact Northern Dock Systems to replace their dock seal. During this, we worked with their local utility company to get them a one-time energy rebate, which covered 100% of the costs for the new dock seals.

We installed the new Blue Giant Fixed Head Pad Dock Seal (100) around the door opening. These dock seals feature:

  • Two 99% memory foam side pads and one foam head pad wrap around the trailer opening, eliminating the gap between the building and the trailer.
  • 22 oz high tear vinyl.
  • 22 oz 4” wear pleats for three layers of fabric protection across the front of the dock seal.
  • 24” guide strips to make it easy for backing up trucks to align with the dock seal.
  • Double-stitching on all seams
  • Tapered at the bottom of pads to eliminate bumper pinch.

With the new fixed head pad dock seal, the door is properly sealed and this grocery store is now saving energy. As a result, they were very happy with the results and will be using us for future projects.
