Loading dock curtain: The Wind-Block
Curtain from Zoneworks is designed to keep
employees comfortable and safe when loading-dock doors are opened. The modular panel
Wind-Block Curtain acts as a barrier to separate
open dock areas from other worker zones, preventing cold winds from reaching employees.
Zoneworks’ wind-block curtains can be
configured with a series of sliding or stationary, insulated or non-insulated panels. The
wind-block curtains are custom engineered to
ensure a proper fit around corners and any
obstructions. They include galvanized drop
pins and floor sockets for stability in high
winds. (Zoneworks, www.zoneworks.com)
