Leveler Weatherseals

Help reduce energy loss and costs

Effective seal for uneven surfaces

Help pass food audits and keep pests and environmental elements out

When a leveler is installed, there are inherent gaps between the leveler and loading dock pit wall that leave openings for warm and cool air to escape, as well as letting rodents and other environmental elements into the facility. A leveler weatherseals upgrade helps to seal these gaps and are essential for food safety, environmental control and separation, productivity and cost savings.

What are these Gaps Costing You?

If installed correctly, weatherseals conform to uneven surfaces and seal the gaps between the loading dock leveler and pit wall. This simple upgrade could result in over $400 of annual energy savings per dock position while also helping to mitigate costs associated with product recalls from pest and environmental infiltration.

Help keep facilities clean and compliant with food audit requirements by sealing gaps and uneven surfaces around the loading dock pit wall, leveler and dock doors.

Time savings as most dock leveler weatherseals easily slide in and out of a galvanized channel and don't need to re-bolt or remove the entire channel to install a brand new weatherseal.
Improved employee comfort by helping to regulate temperatures during extreme hot and cold months, which commonly results in a more productive workplace (a study done by the University of Chicago states that workers are 2% less productive for every 1.8° over 80°F).
Less dust and debris entering a building equates to less time spent cleaning the facility.
