Loading bay equipment: a dock leveller bridges the height difference and gap between the warehouse floor and the truck, and a dock shelter seals the space around the truck so heat, cold and rain stay out of the warehouse during loading.
For a quotation we need the number of loading bays, the warehouse floor height relative to the yard and the vehicle types (trucks, vans). If there is a design, send the floor plan and section of the loading bay.
Declarations of performance, conformity and installation, a label with class and serial number, and installation and maintenance instructions – the documents requested at building inspection.
Dock levellers and dock shelters
Frequently asked questions
Which is better – hinged or telescopic lip?
A telescopic lip extends to the truck and is better when vehicles park at different distances; a hinged lip is simpler and more affordable.
What is a dock shelter for?
It seals the gap between truck and building so cold, heat, rain and insects stay out during loading – important for cold stores.
Can a loading bay be added to an existing building?
Yes, levellers can be retrofitted – in existing buildings a pit is made or an external leveller is used.
