Choosing the correct loading dock equipment for your operation prevents delays in the movement of goods and keeps production lines and delivery schedules in warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing facilities running smoothly. The machinery and accessories installed facilitate the movement of large volumes of goods efficiently and safely, streamlining the loading and unloading process to reduce costs, improve productivity, and protect workers from injury.
Busy loading bays with a constant flow of large vehicles are a high-risk location but the design of individual docking stations can significantly reduce the potential for accidents. Each component, including dock doors, levellers, shelters, and load houses, plays a crucial role in enhancing safety on site.
All of our equipment is designed to meet EU operational and safety requirements and protect staff and vehicles. Dock levellers and drawbridges safely cover the gap between docking bays and the vehicle and our innovative vehicle restraint systems ensure safe and secure conditions when handling larger trucks and lorries. Easy to install, they stop the unplanned movement of vehicles during loading and can be linked to dock doors, ensuring they only open once the trailer is secure.
Additional dock accessories to improve safety and convenience include fan lights, dock lights, parking guides and traffic lights, all built to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial loading docks.
Efficiency and productivity often go hand in hand and loading dock equipment from ASSA ABLOY can help to improve both.
Our overhead sectional dock doors provide smooth and reliable automatic operation, so a consistent flow of traffic can be maintained. As well as providing efficient access, the fast operation also helps to minimise energy losses, reducing environmental impact and cutting operating costs.
In addition to effective dock doors, our dock seals create a seal between the truck and the dock, preventing the entry of dust, debris, and inclement weather and further improving energy efficiency and working conditions. Mechanical fabric curtains and inflatable dock shelters can be fitted for use with larger vehicles, whilst van cushion shelters have been specifically developed to enhance the docking process at parcel distribution centres.
Loading dock equipment is essential for any business that needs to move large volumes of goods quickly and safely. But at ASSA ABLOY, we understand that each operation is unique which is why we’ll work with you to specify the loading dock equipment to suit your business.
For example, where space is limited, our loadhouses provide an ideal solution by moving your loading and unloading area outside. These complete, stand-alone systems for dock loading contain all relevant components, including a leveller, shelter, door, and the Autodock® bottom platform, so there’s no requirement for major modifications to the building.
