The Vestil D-350-18 Nylon (Vinyl) Dock Seal is designed to create an airtight seal between a loading dock and the back of a trailer, helping to conserve energy and protect freight from weather elements. This unit features a 36 oz. nylon-reinforced vinyl facing for enhanced tear strength and durability, with chemically sealed ends to deter moisture infiltration. The dock seal is constructed on a wolmanized wood frame and includes a full-height air escape tunnel to allow air to exit when a trailer makes contact, reducing compression-related issues at the dock opening.
With a three-piece configuration measuring 12 inches high, beveled sides (9-1/2 inches at the wall and 12 inches at the face), this seal is designed for flush-dock installations and is supplied with a through-the-wall installation kit. The product accommodates an 18-inch projection and supports a maximum compression setting, aligning with common dock configurations and ensuring a secure, weather-resistant seal when engaged by a trailer. Installation hardware and instructions are included to simplify mounting, and the design includes features intended to minimize moisture entry and maintain performance across variable conditions.
Practical usage typically involves docks that require an adjustable, high-coverage seal capable of accommodating standard trailer approaches. The unit is specified for non-returnable handling, consistent with many specialized dock components. For accurate fit, verify the survey details and ensure alignment with flush-dock use in conjunction with edge-of-dock systems, as appropriate for your facility’s loading operations.
