Dock levellers
Dock levellers with hinged lip or telescopic lip
SPS dock levellers are well-designed solutions for precisely compensating the differences in height between various lorry floors and ramps. With dock levellers, the load can be moved in or out of the lorry in a single horizontal movement.
A sturdy steel construction with anti-twist platform easily compensates for lorry tilting, even if the load is not distributed evenly.
Reliable hydraulics with 2 lifting cylinders and a cylinder for the lip is the right choice for any situation, easy to operate and, above all, safe. These dock levellers are equipped with automatic emergency-stop valves in the lifting cylinders. They secure the dock leveller right away. This is important, for example, if a lorry drives away while a load is still on the platform.
For every loading situation,SPS offers the right solution for efficient loading and unloading. You can obtain detailed consultation from your SPS loading technology specialist.
Dock shelters
Dock shelters – all-round protection
Hörmann dock shelters protect the goods to be loaded from adverse weather conditions, save energy costs and prevent drafts that could result in staff shortage due to illness. When combined with a dock leveller, complex canopies and ramp assemblies are not required.
Hörmann flap dock shelters fit all lorry sizes and are therefore universally applicable. High-quality top and side flaps, mounted on a galvanized, compressible steel frame, result in a stable, flexible and tear-resistant construction. Flaps and frame parts are manufactured as easy-to-assemble individual elements that can be screwed together. This also makes replacements simple and inexpensive. Inflatable dock seals and cushion dock seals for special applications complete the extensive programme.
Loading houses – all-round protection
Loading houses are placed in front of the building. This means that the entire building space can be used, right up to the exterior walls. SPS loading houses are always a good choice if buildings do not allow for the installation of interior ramps or if tailboard slots on the ramps are not possible.
A complete loading house consists of a pedestal with dock leveller, wall and ceiling cladding and a loading opening with dock shelter.
In conjunction with insulated SPS industrial doors, loading houses are particularly recommended for loading temperature-sensitive goods.
Lorries can then dock at a 90° angle or offset to the side at a tight angle. Loading houses are available as individual units or arranged as a series.
Loading bays sometimes take up a large portion of commercial buildings. They thus offer substantial energy savings potential – for more information about the amortisation and retrofitting see the SPS energy savings compass.
