Advantages of loading houses
Maximising the use of the interior to save energy
- Energy efficiency: By positioning the dock leveller outside the building, heat loss is reduced, helping to maintain internal temperatures and lower energy consumption
- Space savings: The warehouse or production area can be utilised right up to the building's outer walls, freeing up valuable indoor space
- Retrofitting: Quick and easy installation, even to existing buildings
- Range of movement: The angled arrangement provides the best possible docking options, depending on the depth of the courtyard
- Efficiency: Coupling to a row system is a cost-effective and visually cohesive solution
- Noise protection: Provides acoustic insulation during loading
Overview of loading houses
Ideal solutions for every application
Whether you require a single- or double-skinned loading house, on-site or factory-fitted cladding, or an insulated or DOBO solution, Hörmann offers a comprehensive range of proven loading house systems from a single source. Each option is designed to deliver specific operational and energy-efficiency benefits, ensuring the ideal solution for your facility. The right choice will depend on factors such as building layout, loading requirements, environmental conditions and operational demands, with Hörmann providing expert guidance to help identify the most suitable configuration.
- Loading house with DOBO system: The Hörmann DOBO system enables fast, safe, and energy-efficient loading process by allowing vehicles to dock with their doors closed. This innovative approach helps maintain the cold chain, enhances protection against theft and contamination, and supports efficient customs-controlled operations.
- Single-skinned version LHC 2: The single-skinned loading house LHC 2 consists of a sturdy steel frame construction with single-skinned corrugated sheet steel cladding – optionally equipped with anti-condensation equipment. It is suitable for roof loads of up to 3 kN/m².
- Double-skinned version LHP 2: The steel frame construction of the double-skinned loading house LHP 2 is cladded with 60 mm thick double-skinned steel panels. These provide acoustic insulation during loading and prevent unwanted heating of refrigerated goods due to solar radiation.
- Loading house LHF 2: The loading house LHF 2, with its sturdy steel frame construction, can be cladded on site to match the building facade.
- Insulated air lock: The heavily insulated air lock with 80 mm thick sandwich cladding protects sensitive goods during loading. We recommend the industrial sectional door LPU 67 Thermo as an optimal insulation solution.
