Steps
Pair a well-sealed dock door (e.g., vertical-storing leveler, tight shelter/seal) with an air curtain to limit warm, humid air infiltration during door-open cycles.
Install a warm-side vapor barrier and keep door gaskets in good condition, since aging or compressed gaskets are a common infiltration path.
Size dehumidification to the actual infiltration load at the dock face rather than to overall room floor area.
Enforce disciplined door-open procedures (minimizing open time) as a low-cost complement to equipment fixes.
Monitor for ice buildup on floors, tracks, and equipment as an early sign of a failing seal or vapor barrier.
Known gotchas
Condensation and ice problems are usually multi-factor (seal wear plus vapor barrier gaps plus door-open habits) - fixing only one variable often fails to resolve the issue.
Ice on dock plates, tracks, or leveler lips is also a slip and equipment-jam hazard, not just a moisture-control nuisance - treat it as a safety issue during winter operations.
