Chalfant Universal Dock Shelter Recovers
Dock shelters are widely used to ensure both safe material handling and maintenance of the loading dock environment. Though dock seals are highly durable and a great investment choice for energy and safety maintenance at the dock, the fabric covering the foam eventually wears and tears over time.
The ongoing wear and tear lowers the performance and functionality that dock shelters are primarily designed to offer. And because of this, many dock facility managers and owners then seek finances to invest in new dock shelters and replace the old ones. But do you know that replacing dock seals every now and then can be overwhelming expensive for your business and add greatly to your cost of doing business? This is where we come into the picture with our dock shelter recovers.
At Chalfant Sewing Fabricators Inc, we offer you dock shelter recovers—the perfect way to recover your worn and torn dock seal fabric without replacing the shelter, entirely. That’s right; a simple recover is all you need to make sure that the seal installed at the dock performs at the same level that it used to.
Recovers Are A Cost-Effective Solution ...
Apart from improving the performance of dock shelters, recovers also serve as a cost-effective solution, saving you big in terms of total cost of replacement. With our dock shelter recovers, you can easily save up to 40 percent over the total dock shelter replacement cost which includes cost of freight, cost of new seals and the cost of disposing the old ones.
Recovers are a great choice when the foam inside the seal is in a good shape while the fabric covering it gets worn and torn badly. At Chalfant, we offer dock shelter recovers for all brands. So, no matter what brand you may have installed at your dock, you can come to us with full confidence that you’ll find the recover for it easily.

Dock Seal Fabric Performance Specification
Our full range of selected quality fabrics; Vinyl, “High Tear Resistant Guardian 60” fabrics and other optional fabrics, in a variety of colors and available fabric weights, make durable seals and shelters. The dock seal/shelter lifespan depends on the application; lighter duty fabrics have a lower investment cost and are best suited for low volume truck applications.
The Guardian 60, is the most durable and abrasion resistant fabric, it will endure the most demanding applications at the loading dock. Durability of the dock seal will be enhanced if it includes one of the following; wear face, guardian face, guardian pleats. For color selection we recommend black and most loading dock professionals do agree, that is the best color choice due to the contact of dirt, grime and oil on the back over-the-road trucks/trailers and contact with a dock seal/shelter, eventually the face of any dock fabric will turn black.
