Foam Frame Shelter

BG600 foam frame shelter

Foam Frame Shelters create a tight seal between the building and the back of a vehicle. The soft side pads absorb misalignments from off-center trailers and quickly return to their original shape, maintaining the shelter’s integrity over time. The sloped head frame helps protect the dock area from weather elements by diverting rain off the sides, reducing the need for additional canopies. 

Designed to accommodate 10' wide x 10.5' high door openings, highway trailers and tailgate trucks, the BG600 provides full, unobstructed access to the trailer interior. The head curtain, side curtains, and foam side frames fit snugly against the trailer, ensuring weatherproof protection. 

Standard units seal trailers of 12' to 13' 6" high on a typical 4' dock height.

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
