Loadhouses for more indoor space
By enabling you to move your loading and unloading area outside, our loading dock houses free up floor space inside your building. Since they contain all relevant components for a complete docking bay, leveller, shelter and door, you won’t need to make any major building modifications. Together with the Autodock® bottom platform and an insulated or non-insulated cladding house, our loadhouses form a complete, stand-alone system for dock loading.

The Benefits of Loadhouses
Loadhouses offer a comprehensive solution designed to optimise your warehouse's loading and unloading processes. These standalone structures are more than just a physical space. They provide a controlled environment that can significantly enhance your operations, offering a practical and cost-effective solution for businesses looking to improve their logistics. These systems are more than just dock doors; they represent a complete docking solution, designed to optimise the use of space, improve insulation and reduce construction costs. Whether you manage a small warehouse or a large industrial terminal, loadhouses are crucial for enhancing workflow and ensuring a smoother transition between your facility and delivery lorries.
Key Features of Loadhouses
- Increased Space Efficiency: Free up valuable warehouse space.
- Improved Insulation: Maintain optimal temperature for goods.
- Reduced Construction Costs: Cost-effective alternative to building modifications.
- Enhanced Safety: Protect workers and goods from external elements.
- Customisable Options: Choose the right size and capacity for your needs.
- Faster Loading and Unloading: Streamline operations and reduce wait times.
How do Loadhouses Work?
Loadhouses function by providing a controlled and efficient loading and unloading environment. A typical loadhouse incorporates several essential components. A leveller, a platform that bridges the gap between the warehouse floor and the lorry bed, ensures a smooth transition for loading and unloading. A shelter, a protective covering that shields the loading area from the elements, safeguards the loading process. Finally, a secure door provides controlled access to the loadhouse.
FAQs: Loadhouses
Here you will find the most important questions and answers about ASSA ABLOY Loadhouses.
A loadhouse is a complete loading bay, encompassing all the essential components of a typical loading dock. These invariably include a door, a door seal, a loading bridge, wall cladding, a protective roof, and a vehicle restraint system. Given the wide range of requirements for individual loadhouses, certain components may vary in size, colour, and function. Additionally, optional components can be integrated into the loadhouse. For instance, docking aids or loading lights can be installed to enhance both functionality and safety.
Since loadhouses do not require any structural modifications to the building, they can be installed almost anywhere. The key advantage of a loadhouse is that it can be simply placed in front of the existing goods entrance without the need for any special installation measures. This preserves the entire floor space inside the building and the self-contained system retains its flexibility. Furthermore, the loadhouse can be custom sized to fit existing dimensions and can be visually integrated into the existing building facade through adaptable designs.
Apart from the high quality of ASSA ABLOY loadhouses, they are the only ones on the market that do not have a frame. These protruding components pose a significant safety risk and are a popular target for birds or other unwanted visitors. The exceptionally thick sandwich panels, with a 40 mm insulation layer, ensure that the internal temperature remains constant. Therefore, ASSA ABLOY loadhouses are also suitable for loading processes that require temperature control.
A loadhouse is immediately noticeable; therefore, it must blend aesthetically with the existing building. ASSA ABLOY loadhouses offer a wide range of colours for individual design. Moreover, it is possible to adjust the dimensions of the entire system to suit the local conditions. Optional extensions can be made, for example, to the roof or wall cladding. Special insulation and additional components such as loading lights can also be added to further improve functionality.
Loadhouses must withstand a great deal of stress depending on the weather conditions. As a standalone structure, it does not benefit from the stable construction of the building. ASSA ABLOY loadhouses are therefore designed to be particularly resistant to environmental influences, including heavy snow loads in winter. They also offer excellent protection against embrittlement due to intense sunlight in summer. Additionally, the 40 mm thick insulation panels ensure that the internal temperature remains constant. This reduces energy costs and simultaneously guarantees the transport of temperature-sensitive goods.
As a prefabricated unit, a loadhouse can be installed directly on the exterior of a building. Delivery is in compact form and can be attached to the building without major modifications. The simple assembly does not require heavy machinery such as cranes or forklifts, thus avoiding additional costs. Due to the quick and flexible installation, the loadhouse guarantees rapid readiness for use for the goods entrance.
