OPERATION
Dock shelters can significantly improve the energy efficiency and environment control of buildings, reducing costs. They provide an effective barrier against the elements, keeping loading dock dry, safe and efficient.
Dock shelters provide a positive seal between internal and external environments. They prevent the passage of dust, insects, exhaust fumes and other airborne contaminates while the loading dock is in use.
STRUCTURAL
NOVA’s RF Series dock shelter is constructed from solid wood frames which reduce costs. Cover material and wear pleats are top-grade fabrics providing superior performance and maximum durability.
