The Vestil D-750-36 Vinyl Dock Shelter is a rugged, weather-sealing solution designed for loading docks using doors up to 10'W x 10'H. It creates a barrier between the dock and the trailer, helping to protect goods, personnel, and equipment from the elements while supporting energy efficiency. The shelter’s long-wear fabric is crafted to resist abrasion and tearing, and fiberglass staves are sewn into the flaps to maintain shape and help the curtain seal against varying trailer profiles. When a trailer backs into the shelter, the vertical and top panels push inward to form a seal along the sides and top, with a recommended minimum trailer penetration to ensure effective closure.
Construction and features are oriented toward durability and ease of installation. The top header piece spans 132 inches and includes a 36-inch-high drop curtain, while two vertical pieces rise 126 inches tall with flaps measuring 21 inches wide. The design accommodates compression against the trailer, with air tunnels built into the structure to allow air to escape as the trailer makes contact, reducing suction and potential seal disruption. The shelter includes two yellow steel guide protectors and foam-filled corner draft pads to enhance sealing action at the corners and edges. These components work together to reduce door opening exposure and help manage environmental conditions at the dock.
Practical use considerations include its 36-inch projection and 40-ounce long-wear fabric, which contribute to a robust dock-facing barrier suitable for standard dock configurations. The unit is intended for installation with appropriate mounting hardware and instructions, and it is supplied as a complete shelter with the listed dimensions. Note that, per typical Vestil dock shelter guidelines, the assembly is designed to close a door opening down to approximately 90 inches by 90 inches between the flaps when properly installed. This model is non-returnable and should be selected to match the dock opening size and intended trailer penetration for an effective seal.
