Dock leveler weather seals can have 2 or 3 pieces: either a seal and insert - or - seal, insert, and channel.
A seal kit can be installed directly onto a dock leveler with just a seal and insert. This can be done by securing the insert to the dock leveler directly (tack weld or tek screw).
If a dock leveler already has a channel installed, the insert could slide into the channel depending on the insert design.

F Channel - opening at corner of channel
INSERT TYPES
- T Style (WGA04) - can be used with C channel depending on design
- F Style (WGMS12 *not pictured) - can be used with F channel depending on design
- Either style insert can be secured to a dock leveler without a channel present.
