INFLATABLE DOCK SHELTERS

The handling of cooled or frozen food puts high demands on the temperature chain. The inflatable dock shelter provides the optimal sealing of temperature controlled premises during the loading and unloading process. Contrary to other types of dock shelters, the vehicle does not push towards the shelter. Instead, the shelter is inflated around the docked vehicle, providing complete sealing. The inflatable shelter is suitable for all vehicle sizes and their sealing capacity exceeds by far the standard normally required by operators.

Unbroken cold chain!
The food industry puts high demands on loading bay sealing in order to keep the cold chain as intact as possible. The dock shelter must provide continuous weather protection throughout the entire loading and unloading operation. Like a glove,the inflatable dock shelter tightens around the vehicle, preventing air inlet.Customer demands are fulfilled!

Rolling top seal for large variations in vehicle height
A special inflatable shelter model has been developed in order to cope with large variations in vehicle height. The top seal is a roller design – automatically activated for low or high vehicles. In addition, it follows all vertical movements of the docked vehicle,continuously providing high tightness.

Simplified dock-in navigation
In rest position, the inflatable dock shelter is completely retracted behind the side structures, giving the vehicle driver the possibility to use the complete width of the loading bay when reversing into it. In addition, yellow front line indicators further facilitate dock-in navigation. Stable collision protectors at ramp height prevent shelter damages.

Insulated top and side panels
The inflatable dock shelter is installed into a frame construction covered by insulated panels, giving additional insulation effects. The design facilitates easy and fast component exchange, should this be needed.

Special ground model for no-ramp applications
Normally, dock shelters are installed at dock level, but sometimes a loading ramp is not available. For such applications, a special model of the  inflatable dock shelter is supplied, giving the same high tightness around the entire door opening all the way down to ground level.

High quality material composition
The side and top inflatable airbags are made of impact resistant material with a strong, woven core. It is non-flammable, color stable and highly resistant to weather impacts – in other words a material well suited for optimal function in rough docking environments.
