The Dock-Rite Contact Cushion Seal is the highest-specification dock sealing solution for refrigerated loading bays. The truck backs directly onto the seal, creating a virtually airtight junction between vehicle and building — maximum cold retention and full product security.

All Contact Cushion Seals are fully custom-manufactured. There are no standard dimensions — sizing is taken from the actual vehicle used at each bay.

Note: Contact Cushion Seals are fully custom — there are no standard dimensions. A site survey is required to size the seal correctly.
