What is a Dock Seal and Its Types?

What is a dock seal? 

Dock seals are made up of foam pads wherein the trailer compresses back when it comes to rest against the dock bumpers and it forms into a seal around the three sides of the trailer. Normally, dock seals allow a tight seal for a low price and can become worn out easily when used at loading docks with heavy traffic. Dock seals are best used when there is a slight difference in the size and style of trailers that are being served.
