Inflatable Dock Shelters

Engineered for maximum sealing performance, our Inflatable Dock Shelters inflate around the vehicle body to create a tight, energy-efficient barrier. Constructed from reinforced PVC with durable mounting components, they adapt to a wide range of trailer sizes and configurations. Inflatable systems are ideal for temperature-sensitive environments, helping reduce heat loss in winter and cool air escape in summer. They also protect against dust, insects and external pollutants to ensure cleanliness and control in facilities.

Highlights

  • High-strength, reinforced PVC construction
  • Adjustable widths up to 3200mm with stroke capability to 3400mm
  • Superior thermal insulation for cold chain and pharma applications
