5 Types of Inflatable Seals and Shelter by Action Automatic Door and Gate

Action Automatic Door and Gate has an extensive range of seals and shelters designed to improve
the efficiency of loading docks by either minimizing heat gain or heat Loss in the warehouse and
transportation areas - depending on whether the environment needs to be kept warm or cold.

The control of energy consumption and conservation in the workplace is critical in minimizing costs.
This can be achieved by not only preventing heat loss when storing goods in cold stores but also by
avoiding fluctuations in temperature in workplace areas.  This is where seals and shelters can help.

The type of seal or shelter in Southwest Florida to be used will depend on the environment you are
wanting to create. For example, a cold store would require either an Inflatable Dock Seal or an Inflatable
Pad Seal, to provide a more efficient seal to minimize heat loss.
