Retractable dock shelter is designed to retract upon impact. Use of retractable structure prevents damage of the dock shelter construction in case of incorrect parking. This type’s collapsible scissor arms are spring loaded, keeping the shelter in a projected position. When compressed by an incoming trailer the panels create an air tight seal. Retractable dock shelter is very effective where the driveway approach is dificcult. A large selection of tough abrasion resistant fabrics makes this unit an excellent long lasting investment.
