The Vestil VESD-350-13 Nylon (Vinyl) Dock Seal is designed to create an airtight seal between the loading dock and a trailer, helping to reduce energy loss and protect freight from weather exposure. This unit features durable 36 oz. nylon-reinforced vinyl facings, which provide higher tear resistance compared to some other materials, and a chemically sealed end to help prevent moisture infiltration. The dock seal is configured as a three-piece assembly with a full-height air escape tunnel and is intended for through-the-wall installation, including a 5 inch maximum compression to accommodate trailer contact without excessive compression. It includes a through-the-wall installation kit and mounting hardware for straightforward setup.
Construction details emphasize that the facings are securely bonded to a wolmanized wood backing, contributing to a stable, long-lasting seal across the opening. The design incorporates built-in air tunnels that allow air to escape as a trailer or forklift contacts the seal, reducing crumple and improving seal integrity at the dock face. The unit is specified with a 13 inch projection, which, in combination with the 12 inch high panels and beveled sides, helps align the seal with the trailer door opening for an effective joint.
Ideal for warehouses needing to minimize exterior elements entering the dock area, this seal supports energy efficiency and freight protection when used in conjunction with a flush dock and Edge-O-Dock configurations that require a 20 inch projection. Unit sizing is documented as 13 inches of projection, with a 36 oz. vinyl faced construction, and it ships as a single unit with the installation kit to simplify on-site assembly and mounting. It’s important to verify fit using the provided survey materials, as incorrect sizing may affect seal performance and energy efficiency.
