Loading Houses

 Loading houses form a dedicated loading dock on the outside of a building, typically incorporating a dock leveler within an insulated enclosure. Dock Technik’s loading houses are a great option for energy saving, helping to reduce cold bridging and air leakage by installing the dock leveler assembly outside the main building. They also allow the installation of a dock leveler where it is not possible by locating it outside the building within a dedicated loading house in the existing warehouse floor. A wide range of construction is available that includes insulation, lighting and all necessary dock equipment for every bespoke installation.

If buildings do not allow the installation of internal ramps or tailboard slots on ramps are not possible, Doc Technik’s loading houses are always a good option.

A complete loading house consists of a loading opening with a dock leveler, a pedestal with wall and ceiling cladding, and a dock shelter. In combination with insulated Dock Technik’s industrial doors, loading houses are mainly suggested for loading goods that are temperature sensitive.
