Loading Docks
A loading dock works best as a porch on the façade of the warehouse with an integrated dock leveller,
Dock shelter and possibly a sectional door.
Made of a hot-dip galvanized steel construction the finished lock is clad with trapezoidal sheet metal or insulating panels in various thicknesses.
Loading locks can be effectively used for:
-
An existing building that does not yet have a dock leveller
-
A new building, whereby the actual storage area is increased by the addition of loading locks
-
In cold stores, where an internal leveller causes too much cold loss.
