Galvanized Steel Snow and Rain Hoods for Loading Docks

A galvanized steel snow and rain hood helps protect the top of a dock seal from damaging weather. Since rain, snow, and ice can wear down dock seals over time, many facilities install snow and rain hoods above dock seals for added protection.

The Rotary Products Model SS snow/rain hood includes an integral gutter that drains water to the sides instead of onto or into the trailer. As a result, your dock area stays better protected during wet or snowy conditions.

Standard snow and rain hood options include:

SS-18: 18″ projection, 16-gauge material, available in 10′ or 12′ lengths
SS-24: 24″ projection, 16-gauge material, available in 10′ or 12′ lengths
SS-30: 30″ projection, 14-gauge material, available in 10′ or 12′ lengths
SS-36: 36″ projection, 14-gauge material, available in 10′ or 12′ lengths

Special projections and special lengths are also available. Therefore, Action Industrial Services can help you select a snow and rain hood that fits your dock seal, building layout, and weather exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dock Snow and Rain Hoods

What are dock snow and rain hoods used for?

Dock snow and rain hoods help protect the top of loading dock seals from rain, snow, ice, and other weather exposure. As a result, they can extend the life of dock seals and reduce weather-related damage around the loading dock.

Why should a dock seal have a snow or rain hood?

A dock seal can wear down faster when rain, snow, and ice collect on top of it. Therefore, many facilities install a galvanized steel snow and rain hood above the seal to add protection and improve long-term performance.

How does the gutter on a dock rain hood work?

The integral gutter directs water to the sides instead of allowing it to drain onto or into the trailer. This helps keep the dock area cleaner, safer, and better protected during wet or snowy conditions.

What sizes are available for dock snow and rain hoods?

Standard options include 18″, 24″, 30″, and 36″ projections in 10′ or 12′ lengths. In addition, special projections and special lengths are available for facilities that need a custom fit.

What material are snow and rain hoods made from?

Dock snow and rain hoods are typically made from galvanized steel. Depending on the model, they may use 16-gauge or 14-gauge material for strength, durability, and weather resistance.
