Dock Shelters
Our dock shelters are designed to ensure important energy savings, as they maintain the heat inside the building, provide better interior hygiene and, thanks to their signalling system, facilitate the approach manoeuvres of the trucks, in all cases without affecting speed and flexibility in loading and unloading operations.
The dock shelter is formed by a perimeter structure that supports a set of canvas sheets which fit onto the body of the truck. This structure is available in aluminium or it can be galvanised, and may be: Retractable Dock Shelter, Fixed Dock Shelter, Façade Flush Dock Shelter, Inflatable Dock Shelter or Refrigerated Dock Seal.
Retractable Dock Shelter
Our Retractable Dock Shelter - ABRE with a sloping roof consists of a perimeter structure with a set of canvases attached to it. These canvases adjust to fit the body of the lorry. This structure is retractable so that, in the event of a knock or impact caused by the driver, the shelter will return to its initial position.
- The Retractable PVC front panels Dock Shelter is the most popular & used
- Accessible for dock level fitting, or for ground level fixing for the guard of doors without dock
- The front panels are made of high resistance black PVC protected with double interlacing of polyester that works like spring in order to cover the vehicles of different shapes
Cushion Dock Shelters
Cushion Dock Shelters are best suitable for loading dock where many vehicles of approximately the same height and width load &
unload and where environmental control is important. It provides a virtually air tight seal between the vehicle and building. Even the gaps between the trailer door and bodies are sealed.
Only a cushion shelter design offers you this advantage. This innovative cushion shelter has been specially designed for
warehouse with the highest demands regarding the inside temperature, like cold stores and freezer stores.
Since the foam cushion slightly reduces the width of the available door opening, non-palletised goods, are recommended to
avoid side cushion damage during loading and loading.
Inflatable Dock Shelters
Our Retractable Dock Shelter - ABRE with a sloping roof consists of a perimeter structure with a set of canvases attached to it. These canvases adjust to fit the body of the lorry. This structure is retractable so that, in the event of a knock or impact caused by the driver, the shelter will return to its initial position.
Fixed Dock Shelter
Some companies require for their facilities dock shelters that do not move, being the fixed shelter the best solution. Our Fixed Dock Shelter - ABFI consist of a galvanised tubular structure, lined with galvanised sheet metal and a set of front canvases. This creates a small tunnel that fits the body of a lorry perfectly.
