ARE THERE ALTERNATIVES FOR A STATIONARY ISO LOADING DOCK?
When planning and designing warehouses, an effective insulation is getting more and more important. Companies pay much attention to the use of heat insulated materials and try to avoid cold bridges. Completed buildings will sometimes even be carefully checked for air infiltration and energy saving opportunities. But who is concerned about insulation of dock levellers? Sectional doors for loading docks are well insulated plus assure temperature separation. Collapsible dock shelters are often regarded as standard equipment for sealing trucks and trailers at the loading dock, a wide range of alternative products is available to increase the sealing effectiveness. There are still some weak areas at the loading dock that could easily be improved, e.g. air infiltration through the opening between dock leveller platform/concrete pit and cold/heat conduction through the deck plate of the dock leveller.
