Saving energy, step-by-step Even when dock doors are closed, conventional dock levellers ‘bleed’ out. They are made of steel, a thermal conductor that causes a small but continuous energy drain. The dock shelter provides a vital thermal seal around the truck at the loading bay. If shelters and seals are not properly maintained, or are poorly fitted, they can cause up to 15% of the unnecessary energy drain from your facility. How quickly do doors close when trucks are not loading? The largest unnecessary energy drain at your loading bays – 80% – is from doors left open after trucks leave the bay. Make your docking unit a temperature barrier To limit heat exchange at the dock, Crawford developed the Isodock and load-houses - docking concepts that seal the docking unit and reduce heat exchange by as much as 80%, compared to a traditional leveller solution. Shelter your business against energy losses A well-maintained dock shelter and door sealing reduces energy loss by up to 80% when the door is open and a truck is at the bay. Crawford’s know-how will ensure that your shelters are in the best shape to do the job right. Let your doors do the job right Your operators have lots of work to do.
