Description
Roller doors for loading docks: vehicle access at logistics platforms
Roller Doors for Loading Docks are the access solution for loading and unloading docks at logistics platforms and cold stores. Their aluminium roller leaf takes up minimal space at the top of the opening, making the most of the dock’s usable height and providing the strength needed for intensive use in loading and unloading operations.
Technical specifications

Advantages
✔ Minimal space required at the top of the opening (compact drum)
✔ Insulated slats that reduce warehouse heat losses
✔ Fast opening and closing to minimise loading times
✔ Resistant to dock impacts and weather conditions

FAQs
Are dock roller doors insulated enough for a cold store?
Aluminium slat roller doors with polyurethane filling offer moderate insulation, suitable for positive-temperature cold stores (+2 °C to +8 °C). For freezer rooms, it is recommended to combine them with a dock shelter or to use sectional doors with thicker panels, which provide greater insulation.
