Dock shelter
MEI Dock Shelters are used to protect Goods and to keep a temperature controlled facility at the correct temperature while the doors are open during loading and unloading operations. The Dock Shelters are manufactured to provide optimum stability and durability and to provide an optimum seal between the internal and external environments and assist with the reduction of energy consumption by reducing the loss of expensive warm or cooled air.
The Dock Shelters are most commonly used because they cater for a mixed vehicle fleet with curtains that extend in from the sides and head allowing a vehicle to push through comfortably. The curtains are designed to flex but maintain contact with the rear of the vehicle to maintain the “seal”. Usually Dock Shelters of size 3500 x 3500 x 600mm deep are installed at warehouse floor level. A tolerance of approximately 400mm should be allowed above the tallest vehicle to ensure a long life for the head curtain. Special sizes are available to suit entry level doors or special size vehicles. The retractable frame is made from galvanized steel to make sure it lasts the course when exposed to the elements. The arms are designed to retract out of harm’s way by moving back and up, just in case the shelter gets accidentally hit.
Dock Shelters are necessary to correctly isolate your staff and goods of your warehouses from bad weather conditions and sudden variations of temperature. With the installation of MEI Dock Shelters you save on a lot of energy. Dock shelters are available in two different models
