Blue Giant Inflatable Dock Seals and Shelters Are Now Elite!

A B Equipment Pty Limited, authorised dealer of Blue Giant, are delighted to announce the launch of an Elite series of high-performance inflatable dock seals and shelters by Blue Giant. Blue Giant has created a loading dock solution that meets the needs of climate-controlled applications for cold storage. "The Elite Series meets several needs" says Jeff Miller, Blue Giant Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Each model maintains a tight contact area against the trailer, which prevents refrigerated air loss in cold storage facilities and keeps energy costs more stable."

"The Elite dock seals & shelter are designed and engineered to meet the unique requirements of each loading dock" says Simon Broadhead, Managing Director, A B Equipment Pty Limited. "By supporting a superior level of energy-efficiency, the Elite Series improves a site's environmental responsibility."

Each unit in the Elite Series maintains a snug hold against the sides and top of a trailer, creating an energy-efficient seal without obstructing access to loads. There are three product lines within the new Elite Series.

  • Adjustable Inflatable: A versatile inflatable dock seal with vertical air bags that sustain a tighter seal, keeping perishable product secure and maintaining strict climate control.
  • Stationary Inflatable: Like traditional dock shelters, this unit allows full access to trailer interiors, but header and vertical air bags maintain a solid seal that preserves internal temperatures and keeps out rain and snow.
  • Air Frame Inflatable: A durable inflatable dock shelter that also supports full trailer access, this air frame inflatable has a wear-resistant design that conforms to all trailer irregularities, blocking gaps that could cost money.

When activated, all three enable open access to the trailer interior, ensuring compatibility with automotive plants, bottling facilities, and container loading.
