By choosing a dock house, the loading and unloading area of goods is placed outside your premises. This frees up more floor space inside the premises. As a loading house includes all relevant components (dock leveller, dock shelter and industrial door), you do not need to make any major adjustments to the building. In this blog, we like to tell you the ins and outs of our loading houses.
For new, existing, and leased buildings - loading houses!
Dock houses are placed in front of the building, easily creating additional valuable storage space in the building. Thus, no major modifications to the building are required, making it very suitable for existing and new properties, as well as rented buildings. Thus, minimal structural facilities are required. The Loading Systems loading house is an economically and fiscally attractive alternative to conventional indoor dock levellers. After all, square metres inside the warehouse are more expensive than outside the warehouse.
Due to the importance of sustainability, it is necessary to insulate the loading bay as effectively as possible. In this way, costly energy losses can be avoided. The dock house creates a thermal separation between the building and the loading bay. This not only makes the building more lockable, but also more efficient to heat. Thus, the dock house can also be used for temperature-controlled environments.
Loading houses: a suitable set-up for every situation!
The great advantage of dock houses is that they are suitable for (almost) any situation. In addition, loading houses are easy and quick to install. Dock houses are available including dock levellers with a hinged or telescopic lip. We have various versions available in our range, such as a standard version or an angled loading house for an optimal approach route.
Dock house
Placing a dock house in front of the hall frees up more available space in the hall. This makes the door opening thermally lockable, which not only reduces energy costs but also improves the building's HACCP compliance.
Stepped frame dock house
A stepped frame loading house allows lorries to dock with the doors closed. When the truck is docked, the doors can be opened. This prevents theft and makes it possible to dock swap bodies at night. In addition, the stepped dock house is ideal for situations where hygiene and/or temperature control play an important role.
Linked dock house
For technical and/or economic reasons, it is sometimes desirable to place the dock houses against each other.
