Loading dock equipment for cold storage . When deciding on industrial doors and loading dock equipment for cold storage facilities , the main features to look out for are seals preventing any air exchange around the door and in between the door panels .
The dock leveller should be designed in such a way that there are minimal gaps allowing cold air to escape the building . Docking accessories such as cushion seals or shelters should fit snugly around the truck also preventing any loss of cold air from the building during loading and unloading .
The ideal solution for cold store facilities is a loadhouse . A loadhouse is a complete loading platform and is the most energy efficient solution , incorporating leveller , shelter and door for a complete loading bay unit .
When you install a loadhouse , your entire loading bay sits outside of your main building , which increases energy efficiency . With the dock leveller outside the building , you limit the amount of air exchange that takes place during loading . With a loadhouse you reduce the risk of air exchange , which is particularly important at cold storage distribution centres .

The other benefits of loadhouses are an increase in hygiene and maximising space in the building . The space under a dock leveller can be a shelter for pests and for dirt to build up . With the leveller being outside the building you prevent the ingress of dirt and pests into the building , and by moving the loading process from inside the warehouse to outside you immediately free up space in the warehouse .
designed for integration into air-handling systems within both residential and industrial buildings .
