Well-insulated Industrial Sectional Doors are essential in heated buildings.

PU-foamed sectional doors are available either with 42 mm depth or with sections with thermal break and 67 mm depth. Sectional doors are especially robust, offering good thermal insulation. The thermal break between the exterior and interior of the steel sections also reduces the formation of condensation on the inside of the door. Sectional doors are supplied with special synthetic glazing which stands up to tough demands in rough industrial environments, while maintaining their transparency. A special surface protects window from scratches and damage caused by cleaning over the long period of time.

The surface finish of the sections of doors is based on hot-galvanized steel sheet and a high-adhesion primer-coating (2-component PUR) that protects the door against adverse effects of the weather.

Different sectional door steel surfaces are available. Stucco texturing gives the door surface a uniform structure on which light scratches or traces of dirt are more difficult to see. Micrograin surface gives an elegant look and it features a smooth surface and characteristic fine lines. This door surface finish harmonizes especially well with modern facades that are characterized by their clear formal structure. The inside of the door is Stucco-textured in Grey white, RAL 9002, as standard.

Sectional doors can be supplied as manual or electrical operated with extras like:

  • Finger trap protection
  • With recessed handle
  • Securely locked: Shootbolt, Rotary latch or Floor locking
  • Optional for all power-driven sectional doors leading photocell
  • And many more.

Dock Levellers – Quick loading or unloading of goods is only possible if the load can be driven in or out of the truck in a single horizontal movement. We have ideal solution for balancing out the variation in heights between different truck loading surfaces and the loading platform.

With the correct choice of ramp, height in between truck loading surfaces and the loading platform should be minimum difference in height. Slope of up to 12 .5% is permitted in accordance with the safety-related standard EN 1398. A mechanical dock leveller may be enough to bridge this gap. In most cases, however, the solution is insufficient for both the height difference and the gap. This is when hydraulic dock levellers with hinged or telescopic lip are the right choice for your facility.

Dock Shelters are used to seal the space between building and vehicle/truck, thereby protecting goods and persons from adverse weather effects when the door is open. In addition, they effectively reduce heat loss during loading and unloading procedure.

Advantages:

  • Enormous energy cost savings
  • Goods are protected from contamination, moisture, unintentional heating or other damage
  • Reduces colds and illness among employees
  • Birds and insects can no longer enter the building
  • With different types of dock shelters we can provide simple solutions for every situation.

Bumpers prevent damage of dock shelters and dock levelers. The quality of these should therefore be a top priority. We can provide bumpers for different solutions:

  • Different size
  • Steel bumpers
  • With adjustable heights

Loading Houses shift the entire loading unit to the area outside the building. If the building volume remains the same, then loading house optimizes the use of storage space within the building.

Loading houses are used:

  • On extensions of existing buildings
  • If there is no tailboard slot, although trucks with a tail lift need to be loaded and unloaded
  • In angled arrangements, when the truck does not have enough maneuvering room to approach the ramp at a 90° angle
  • When dock levellers are to be positioned outside the facility to avoid thermal bridges
  • To benefit your energy balance.

Extras

  • Wheel guides and driveway markers
  • Protection bollards
  • Drive-away-stops for trucks
  • Illumination
  • Signal systems
