Loading Technology
Sustainable logistics with intelligent docking systems!
As a part of the building envelope, loading technology solutions play a significant part in the energy efficiency of commercial buildings. Hormann’s energy savings compass shows how loading bays and industrial doors are planned with energy efficiency and sustainability in mind. An integrated calculation module estimates the amortization period for door modernization.
Dock seals
The excellent seal mostly prevents the entrance of cold into heated buildings or of heat into refrigerated warehouses, saving energy. It envelops the vehicle without restricting the area of travel of the doors and is the optimal solution for specific situations, such as a DOBO system. After the loading process and switching off the fan, the cushions quickly withdraw via their interior tension cables and counter weights.
Loading Houses
Loading house are placed in front of the building, which is particularly energy efficient and space-saving. This means that the entire building space can be used, right up to the exterior walls. The building door extends to the building floor not on top of the dock leveller, but behind it. This way, the door opening is optimally insulated, especially outside loading times. Loading houses are also suited for modernization, as a complete loading bay can be added to the building without costly reconstruction measures.
