Dock Bumper, Seal, & Shelter Systems

Impact protection & weather sealing for high-performance docks.

Invest in Smarter Dock Protection

Every loading dock faces constant impact, changing weather, and heavy daily traffic. Our dock protection systems combine impact-resistant bumpers with high-performance seals and shelters to safeguard your facility from trailer damage, weather intrusion, pests, and energy loss. By precision measuring every opening and analyzing traffic patterns, we engineer the ideal projection, thickness, and fabric weight to maximize uptime, efficiency, and long-term durability.

Our Expertise

Turnkey Installations

Bumpers, compression seals, inflatable or curtain-style shelters. Measured, fabricated, mounted, and caulked for a code-compliant, energy-tight fit.

Retrofits & Replacements

Swap worn bumpers, headers, or curtain pads; weld on steel plates; or add projection rails—without removing the concrete dock face.

Custom-Fit Solutions & Safety Accessories

Inflatable shelters, tapered bumpers, sliding steel rails, truck restraints, LED dock lights, and guiderail comms—engineered for your fleet mix and brand colors.

Inspection & Preventive Maintenance

Annual compression, fabric, and anchor checks with digital reports—so you can forecast replacements before failures or OSHA citations occur.

The Altech Method

From Plan to Performance

  • Step 01

    Dock Survey & Energy-Impact Analysis

    We measure door openings, trailer heights, and strike zones, then calculate required bumper projection and seal compression.

  • Step 02

    Solution Design & Material Selection

    Choose laminated, molded, or steel-face bumpers plus foam, curtain, or inflatable shelters in 22- or 40-oz fabrics with wear-pleats.

  • Step 03

    Surface Prep & Scheduling

    We chip loose concrete, set epoxy anchors, coordinate around your operations, and remove any existing worn hardware.

  • Step 04

    Professional Installation & Compression Test

    Frames are mounted, bumpers torqued, seals squared and caulked. We verify trailer contact with push-back tests.

  • Step 05

    Training, Walkthrough & Annual Checks

    Dock crews learn correct positioning and daily inspections; you receive warranty docs plus a yearly re-inspection schedule.
