Dock doors

Dock doors are specialised doors used in warehouses and industrial facilities to facilitate and speed up the loading and unloading of goods. They act as an interface between the warehouse and the transport vehicle, helping to optimise material flow and improve workplace safety. In addition, they protect the interior of a building from unwanted intruders. Their robust construction shields against wind and weather, which helps to maintain a constant indoor temperature. As a result, employee comfort increases, and the company's energy efficiency improves.

Sectional doors are the preferred choice for docks due to their versatility and efficiency. They are designed to require no swing space, saving valuable space in front of and behind the door. Thanks to their flexibility, dock doors can be manufactured in various sizes with customisation options, such as the addition of specific insulation or sensors. This not only optimises energy efficiency but also enhances safety at the dock. Additionally, these doors are particularly low maintenance. If a single panel is damaged, it can be easily replaced without the need to replace the entire door.

Dock doors enhance energy efficiency by providing high-quality insulation, which minimises heat loss. This leads to a reduction in energy consumption and, therefore, lower operating costs. Special sealing ensures that warm or cool air remains inside, reducing the need for additional energy to maintain desired temperatures.

Dock doors are highly flexible and can be upgraded in various ways to meet the specific needs of a business. They can be equipped with additional safety features, such as sensors or traffic lights, to better protect both workers and vehicles. Furthermore, they can be fitted with specialised insulation to lower energy consumption and improve the company’s carbon footprint. Another possible upgrade is automation, which simplifies the loading and unloading process. It is also possible to integrate the doors into comprehensive loading bays, such as loadhouses.
