The Perfect Dock Seal for Your Loading Application

Weglehner's dock seals are the ideal solution for energy-efficient and space-saving loading operations. They are custom-fabricated in our own metal workshop and can be flexibly adapted to any structural situation—both in new constructions and renovations. Each seal is individually designed according to your specifications and fits precisely to the geometry of your loading dock. This ensures an optimal seal between the vehicle rear and the building opening. This tight connection prevents drafts, reduces energy losses, and simultaneously protects goods and personnel from wind and weather. At the same time, the entire interior hall area remains fully usable, as the structure is mounted externally. This space-saving design is especially advantageous in existing halls with limited space. Whether standard truck, articulated lorry, or special-purpose vehicle—our dock seals always ensure a reliable seal and a weather-protected working area.

Our structures comply with all requirements of the Construction Products Regulation (BauPVO) as well as DIN EN 1090 for load-bearing steel structures. They are therefore CE-certified and legally compliant for use in building supervision contexts—a decisive advantage in tenders and inspection procedures. The CE marking confirms conformity with European requirements for safety, health, and environmental protection. For planners, architects, and clients, this means full legal certainty: our dock seals can be integrated into approval-requiring construction projects without concern. All structural calculations and test documentation are available and can be provided upon request. This ensures your project is approved smoothly—without delays due to missing certifications. The building authority approval also provides assurance that the structure is permanently stable and low-maintenance.

The robust design offers high stability under wind and snow loads. The structure is engineered to remain secure even under extreme weather conditions. Optionally, our seals are also available in a thermo version—ideal for refrigerated or deep-freeze areas. This special variant features enhanced thermal insulation properties and significantly minimizes heat loss during loading and unloading of sensitive goods. By being installed outside the building, the entire hall floor area remains usable while energy losses are simultaneously reduced. This not only contributes to cost savings but also supports sustainable logistics processes through lower energy consumption. Especially in times of rising energy prices, this efficiency is a key economic factor.

In situations with limited maneuvering space, we offer solutions in angled installation (e.g., 45° or 60°), which make optimal use of the available area. This intelligent arrangement enables efficient use even on the smallest exterior spaces. The seal is positioned so that trucks can dock safely without blocking adjacent docks or infrastructure. Even in cramped yard layouts or closely spaced loading bays, traffic flow is maintained. Thanks to in-house production, we guarantee consistently high quality, short delivery times, and precise implementation of your requirements—from initial planning discussions to final installation. Every angled solution is statically calculated in advance and custom-fabricated to exact specifications.
