DOCK SHELTERS
Dock shelters protect your goods and staff during the loading and unloading process, keeping them sheltered from the elements. Shelters also help you to cut down on energy costs with a reduced heating bill. If combined with a dock leveller, dock shelters allow you to cut out the need for complex canopies and ramp assemblies, which will save you time, effort, and money. Dock shelters are designed to be universally compatible with trailers of various sizes.
Mechanical dock shelter - PMV
The front and the rear frame of the PROMStahl dock shelter consist of high-stability extruded aluminum sections connected to each other by bracing arms. The curtain is 3 mm thick, made of highly wear and tear resistant double-layer PVC-coated cloth and mounted on the flexible frame. Thanks to the adaptable roof and the parallel guide systems the front structure moves backward in the case of inaccurate docking, hence preventing damage to the dock shelter. The front part of the dock shelter is provided with warning stripes to facilitate the docking process.
Inflatable dock shelter - PWI
PROMStahl’s series of inflatable dock shelters combines optimum sealing with the greatest possible variety of applications. The inflatable side and top cushions provide airtight contact with the vehicle. This type of shelter is ideal for temperature-controlled warehouses to seal against summer heat, winter cold, draught, dust and insects. This results in substantial savings on energy, improved working environment, production and safety. Moreover, the shelter reduces the possibility of unauthorized personnel entering the warehouse through the loading bay doorway and reduces loss through theft. The inflatable top and side cushions not only guarantee optimum sealing but also automatically adapt to the truck measurements. This feature means that trucks of varying sizes can be sealed effectively. Offering a very good payback period PROMStahl dock shelters are a highly cost-effective investment.
Mechanical cushion seal shelter - PMK
The PROMStahl PMK dock seal is designed for loading and unloading truck fleets consisting of vehicles almost identical in width and height. It guarantees perfect protection from draught, rain and wind and thus prevents energy losses. The dock seal is equipped with a horizontal cushion and two vertical cushions consisting of foam material completely covered by a PVC-coated high-resistance Trevira fabric. The dimensions of the dock seals are defined depending on the individual characteristics of your loading bay and the vehicle types to be loaded/unloaded.
​
The PMK dock shelter is pre-mounted and consists of just three parts; therefore, it can be mounted to the façade very fast and easily. Considerable savings regarding time and money are the decisive advantages of this design.
