Compression Dock Seals
Where a standard size truck is being serviced in a loading dock, compression seals are the
most effective and economical solution. These seals are made with foam or cushions wrapped
with heavy-duty vinyl and are installed around the opening of the dock door. When the truck
reverses backwards into the dock, it presses against the seal, thereby creating a seal
against the pads and preventing airflow in and out of the dock.
CDS1000 Series – Fixed Head Pad
Compression dock seals with foam-filled head and side pads provide the most effective seal
and the most economical solution for 8′ to 9′ high doors.
CHDS 1000 Series
Compression dock seals with a curtain style head member and foam filled side pads provide an
effective seal and the most economical solution for door sizes 10′ and higher.
Features:
- Virgin polyurethane foam cut in-house to your specifications
- Heavy-duty treated wood
- Models made with 22oz vinyl have an extra layer of 22oz vinyl sewn into the back surface
of the side pads providing double protection
- 3′ wide yellow guide-stripe on full-length of side pads allows it to be spotted easily
by the vehicle driver
- Breather vent holes on side pads and head pad allow air and moisture to be released
- Inside draft flap to provide better bottom seal

or curtains to provide added durability and to extend the life of the seal. Recommended

the side pads, inside the wedge area or across the head pad face. Recommended for heavy
dock traffic
- Build-outs: wooden frames are constructed, then covered with fabric and designed to
extend the seal beyond an extra deep dock or platform situation
