Dock Leveler Rear Brush Seal

The loading dock leveler rear brush seal is designed to close the rear gap between a dock leveler and the surrounding floor, helping create a virtually air-tight barrier at the loading dock. This 8-foot rear seal uses a twisted wire brush with a 1-1/2-inch diameter brush face to help block rodents, insects, outside air, dust, dirt, and debris from entering the facility.

Designed for demanding commercial and industrial environments, the rear brush seal also helps prevent material from falling into the dock leveler pit, supporting a cleaner and safer loading area. By reducing unwanted airflow and heat transfer around the leveler, it can also contribute to improved energy efficiency. The seal is especially well suited for food packing, food processing, sanitation-sensitive facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, airports, logistics centers, and other loading dock applications.

Installation Best Practices

The rear brush seal installs at the rear of the dock leveler to close the gap between the leveler and floor. Before installation, inspect the existing mounting area and surrounding surfaces for damage, dirt, or debris that could interfere with proper seal placement.

• Confirm the required seal dimensions and 96° brush face before beginning installation.
• Clean the mounting area and remove accumulated dirt or debris before installing the new seal.
• Position the brush so it closes the rear gap while allowing the dock leveler to operate normally.
• Check the full length of the seal for consistent contact after installation.
• Verify that the dock leveler moves freely and that the installed brush does not interfere with normal operation.
