Dock Shelters
Dock Shelters in UAE
Dock shelters are used for sealing of space between truck body and loading dock to ensure Quick, Dust free, temperature loss and safe loading and unloading. These shelters come in two different types which can be used in different type of applications and these shelters can accommodate different types of trucks and trailers. Inflatable shelter which engulfs the truck, or a trailer and it curtails the loss of temperature. The curtain type shelter can be retractable or non-collapsible.
Dock Shelters with Collapsible Structures
Dock shelter Type DSHRT with Aluminum retractable structure is ideal suited for lower traffic loading bay. The front sheets are made up of high wear and tear with high elasticity PVC. The sides and top sheets make a tight sealing on the truck body. The side and side frames are joined by cantilever arms are provide at each end which allows retraction in the event of accidental truck impact.
Main Advantages : Folding aluminum construction: the dock shelter top sheet can be either single or double — to provide better contact with the vehicle body; white reflective stripes located in front of the vertical sheets provide an accurate vehicle parking.
Dock Shelters with Non-collapsible Structures
Dock Shelter type DSHRD with non-collapsible structure made of sandwich panels, edges with aluminum profiles are designed for heavy traffic loading and unloading area. PVC material of which the front sheets are made, possesses elasticity, is wear resistant and high tear resistant. During the loading and unloading operations, the top and vertical side sheets fit the vehicle body providing the necessary tightness. In case of incorrect vehicle parking to the dock, the front frame folds, thanks to the struts and after the work is complete, returns automatically to its original position. The dock is installed using the overlaid method of installation.
Main Advantages : Dock shelter top sheet can be either single or double — to provide a better contact with the vehicle body; white reflective stripes located in front of the vertical sheets, provide accurate vehicle parking; a durable and energy-efficient design.
Inflatable Dock Shelters
Inflatable dock shelters of DSHINF series, are installed in places where it is required a maximum effective sealing and thermal insulation of the premises (for example, at warehouses with controlled temperature). During loading and unloading operations the vehicle is not pressed against the dock, as other analogs. The inflatable cushion engulfs the vehicle body from all sides and ensures a better sealing. The air bags are made of wear resistant material “CORDURA” which is high tear resistant. During loading/unloading works the vehicle body partially enters into the dock shelter. The top and side airbags are inflated by a blower providing high tightness between the vehicle body and the premises. Upon completion of works, the cushions deflate. Inflatable dock shelters can be operated from a control panel (by using a special control unit). When using this type of dock shelters, on the platform, in front of the dock it is important to install wheel guide or metal bumpers. Installation is done using the overlaid method of installation.
Main Advantages : The airbags are produced from the wear-resistant material “CORDURA”;
Elongated top cushion may be 1200 mm, destined to be used with different types of vehicles.
Inflatable dock shelters can be controlled using control panels.
Dock Houses
Dock house is a different solution of installing the shelter and the dock leveller were the space is a constraint. Dock house is useful for keeping microclimate, protecting goods from climatic conditions since it is installed outside the building. It ensures saving storage space. Dock house are produced in 4 different angles like 90,60,45, and 30 degrees and are installed at an angle of 30,45 or 60 degree to the building where it is not possible for trucks perpendicular to the wall.
