Seals and Shelters

Northeast Ohio winters punish an unsealed dock. From our Mentor headquarters, Timbers-Kovar fits Cleveland, Akron, and Canton facilities with dock seals and shelters that hold conditioned air in and lake-effect snow out — cutting heating costs while keeping product and personnel dry. We measure every opening on site, because a seal that fits the wrong trailer height is a seal that fails by February. Our factory-trained employee-owners handle replacement pads, curtains, and full shelter retrofits across the region, with 24/7 response when weather takes a dock out of service.

Western Pennsylvania facilities run mixed trailer fleets, and a seal specified for one trailer height leaks against the next. Timbers-Kovar surveys your actual traffic before recommending anything, then supplies and installs the seals or shelters that match it, serving the Greater Pittsburgh metro, Cranberry, and Washington from our Leetsdale office. Worn seals are among the cheapest repairs on a dock and among the most expensive to ignore. Our local fleet carries replacement pads and head curtains, so most fixes happen on the first visit.
