Purpose

Alutech/Novodock dock shelters are the second main component of loading terminals. They are meant to protect warehouses, goods and personnel against atmospheric effects and draughts during cargo-handling works. The dock shelters are especially needed for warehouses with strict requirements to the storage conditions stability, e.g. in low-temperature warehouses. Dock shelters together with high-speed gates ensure minimum environmental influence on the temperature within the warehouse even if the number of arriving transport is great.

Depending on tasks assigned to the loading terminal, shelters may have different sizes and various configurations. Alutech/Novodock offers solutions for any dimensions of cargo transport, starting from Gazel and ending with a Eurotruck.

The dock shelter dimensions are determined not on the basis of the entrance size rather on the basis of the cargo truck dimensions.

Angular seals, that are mounted in the lower part of the dock shelter, are used in order to improve insulation between truck and loading terminal.
