Greater Hickory’s Leading Dock Seal, Dock Shelter Products and Service Provider

Loading docks are the busiest areas in distribution centers, food and beverage plants, industrial factories, manufacturing facilities, retail outlets, and warehouses.

Gaps between parked vehicles and loading docks allow outside elements such as dust, rain, snow, and wind to enter a facility and also permit air conditioning and heating to escape, increasing energy cost. Dock seals and dock shelters offer ultimate sealing efficiency and protect the loading dock area against outdoor elements.

Overhead Door Company of the Foothills, a division of DuraServ, supplies and services McGuire’s dock seals and dock shelters for loading dock systems in Boone, Claremont, Clemmons, Hickory, Lenoir, Lincolnton, Mocksville, Morganton, Mount Airy, Newton-Conover, Pilot Mountain, Statesville, Taylorsville, Troutman, West Jefferson, Wilkesboro, and Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Call Overhead Door Company of the Foothills at 828-388-8700 or connect with us online to choose the ideal dock seals and shelters for your loading dock systems.

Dock Seals, Dock Shelters, and Installation Services

Dock seals and shelters provide optimum sealing effectiveness and safeguard the loading dock area from outdoor elements.

Dock Seals

Dock seals are foam pads that compress when trailers backs into them, forming a seal around three sides of a trailer. McGuire's dock seals are effective solutions to accommodate loading dock's high-volume traffic with consistent trailer widths and differing heights.

What is the Best Door for Cold Storage Facilities in Hickory, NC?

Nowadays, choosing the right cold storage door for your facility or business application can be more complicated than ever. With hundreds of door manufacturers on the market, it’s simple to understand why so many have difficulty in deciding the best door for their facility.  

Overhead Door Company of the Foothills, a division of DuraServ, who has been servicing all of Greater Hickory Area for over 23 years with the highest quality residential and commercial garage doors, garage door openers, dock equipment, and accessories, prepared this overview and factors to consider before selecting and deciding the right cold storage door for your facility or business application in Hickory, NC.

What is a Cold Storage Facility?

A cold storage facility is an establishment or building for the freezing, cooling and cold storage of sensitive items, perishable food products, and other perishable goods.  

There are different types of cold storage facilities, which mostly depend on their purpose, from individual units to entire dedicated facilities such as:

Refrigerated Containers

Blast Freezers and Chillers Cold Rooms

Pharmaceutical Grade Cold Storage

Plant-Attached Cold Storage

Dedicated Custom Cold Storage Facilities

 Why is it important to select the best door for your business?

Running a cold storage facility is complex, hard, and costly. There are so many factors and considerations, to name some, such as temperature, storage space, type of cold storage, and standard criteria requirements for cold storage facilities. Cold storage equipment, including cold storage doors, devices, and machinery, is specially designed for refrigeration and cold storage business applications.

Cold storage doors separate the temperature of your freezer room or refrigeration by keeping cold air inside the room and preventing the warm from leaking inside due to thermodynamics. Cold rooms should remain at their desired temperature levels for the safety of the goods and products.

Failure to maintain that below-freezing temperature for the freshness and stability of property goods or products that can result in the following:

spoilage of products, goods, or items

contamination from fungi, bacteria and other dangerous microorganisms

delays in the transition of goods and items

a decrease in productivity

potentially hinder vendor relationships

a loss to company bottom line

 Cold storage budgeting is costly. Besides high-quality standard imposed requirements, almost all equipment, devices, and machinery are of modern technologically advanced, which is expensive.

Then, why settle for less if you can find the best door for your cold storage facility that can increase company productivity, save more dollar profits, and achieve the company bottom line.

What are the qualities to look for when buying a cold storage door?

Searching the right door for your cold storage facility can be critical in improving the productivity, energy efficiency, and safety of your facility. Here are some five factors to consider, which will help you determine the best total cold storage door solution for your facility.

1. Environmental Control

First and foremost, environmental control, the most vital in cold storage facilities. Factors can affect environmental control such as the speed of operation, sealing capability, security, environmental separation, and quality control. By taking into consideration these factors and their importance, you are a step closer to choosing your ideal cold storage door for your business application.    

Consider one of the TKO Cold Storage Door model – TKO Verticool Cold Storage Dock Door, the Industry’s First Door Specifically Designed for Use with Vertical Storing Dock Levelers.

The TKO Verticool Cold Storage Dock Door is designed with 4” thick closed-cell XEPS foam panel that can provide R-23 for superior thermal protection and environmental control. Its 48” high panels reduce the number of panel joints by 50% in comparison to industry-standard 24” high panels. Fewer panel joints ensure a better sealing door.

2. Efficiency

High-speed or high-performance doors can increase productivity with its fast passage time allowing equipment or workers to move quickly between spaces. They optimize traffic flow through a facility, increases workload downtimes with more company profits.

The TKO Verticool Door answers the demand for a cost-effective and energy-efficient dock door for use in Vertical Storing Dock Leveler applications.

This high-speed door is highly efficient which is capable of 15,000 standard cycle torsion springs, optimizing facility productivity, and saves a lot of company dollars.

3. Highly Durable and Ease of Cleaning

Cold storage doors are prone to get dirty and contaminated with microbes and other bacterial forms. The cold storage doors can withstand repeated cleanings with chemical substances and surface resistance to microbial and fungal growth.

Our Overhead Door’s TKO Verticool Door model is made from a patent-pending, heavy-duty full opening height polymer thermal break track with 14 gauge galvanized steel guides, providing a strong and highly sturdy door against damages and hazards. Engineered with FRP panel interior skin and UV stabilized exterior painted aluminum, making it easy to clean and maintain against chemical substances.

4. Safest Choice Possible

Safety first, as always in any facility, is a necessity. Safety concerns in all aspects should be considered for cold storage doors such as the flow of traffic at the opening, and high visibility for high traffic areas. Additionally, look out for potential dangers of accidents and hazards and choose a door that can help prevent those accidents.
