The Loading Systems PowerShelter 407 inflatable dock shelter moulds itself into the contours of the vehicle and is the most effective way of sealing between the vehicle and the warehouse. It is particularly well suited to vehicles which vary significantly in size.
 

Built-in or front building

Based on aesthetics of the building, the dock shelter can built-in into the warehouse at the construction stage or it could be incorporated into a dock house.

Large variety of vehicles

The 407 inflatable dock shelter is extremely well-suited for a large variety of vehicle heights and widths. The inflatable top cushion can be inflated up to a height of 1700 mm without bulging outward, as an option. The Loading Systems 407 inflatable top cushion stops unfolding upon contact with the roof of the vehicle.

Extremely well-suited to level access ramps

The inflatable dock shelter is excellently suited to level access ramps. When not inflated, it leaves the opening of the level access ramp completely free of obstruction allowing the building to be accessed without any hindrance to the opening. The 407 dock shelter facilitates the effective sealing of both high and low vehicles including delivery vans.

Durable materials & construction

During the docking process, the inflatable cushions are fully retracted behind the docking lane markings. Only inflates when the vehicle has effectively docked on the loading bay with the cushions inflating within seconds. Due to low contact friction between the shelter and the vehicle, the 407 dock shelter is an extremely durable model.

In the event of a docked vehicle departing unexpectedly while the cushions are still inflated, the free moving fastening ensures that the inflated cushions can rotate outward, which prevents  damage to the shelter components and cushions.

When compared to other Loading Systems dock shelters, the 407 dock shelter cushions are extremely tear-resistant and are resilient to damage by sharp or protruding vehicle parts or premature vehicle departures. The welded black PVC fabric cushions are also resilient to extreme weather conditions.

The heavy duty fabric used in the Loading Systems cushions is extremely leak resistant. Loading Systems also uses a mechanical tube motor driven retraction which ensures the cushions are always neatly stacked behind the dock lane markings when not inflated.

Integrated operation

The Loading Systems 407 dock shelter control station is integrated in the Loading Systems CombiControl control boxes. Upon request, the 407 dock shelter can also be programmed to suit the logic of your preferred operating sequence. To ensure optimum effectiveness is achieved we always ensure that the loading bay door can not door be opened until the 407 dock shelter is inflated.

Dimensions

The inflatable cushion, which includes a folding operation, is delivered by Loading Systems in a variety of dimensions.
