Sentinel Soft-Sided Shelter
The Sentinel Shelter was designed to accommodate higher dock door openings and varying truck heights. The foam sides are designed to lessen the chance of damage caused by off-center trailers and lift gates and other specialty trailer designs might be in use. The side curtains are easily removed in summer (to reduce wear) or to replace. Bottom draft pads close the gap at the bottom sides of the trailer. All in all, this is one of the most versatile and cost-efficient shelters on the market today.

Read MoreWhen Unified Resources needed to create functional office space inside an active warehouse without sacrificing valuable operational square footage, they partnered with DockStar Industrial for a fully customized prefabricated warehouse office solution. The project called for a large-scale modular office buildout that would provide multiple private offices, a conference room, and a break room—all while maintaining warehouse efficiency and minimizing disruption to the existing facility footprint.

Read MoreWhen a fast-moving industrial facility identified aging dock equipment, damaged doors, and outdated safety systems creating operational risk across multiple loading positions, they partnered with DockStar Industrial for a complete loading dock modernization project. Rather than replacing isolated components one at a time, the customer chose to complete a full dock renovation—upgrading every major piece of dock equipment across the affected loading positions to improve safety, efficiency, appearance, and long-term reliability.
