Abstract:

A combined dock seal and shelter structure for a truck loading dock includes a vehicle-engaging seal member that is removably or replaceably attached to a compressible side pad. A backer can be used to help mount the side pad to a wall, adjacent to a doorway. The side pad preferably comprises a resiliently compressible foam core within a pliable cover , while the seal member comprises a pliable curtain or semi-rigid panel that are flexible but less compressible than the foam core.
