Unbroken cold chain! The food industry puts high demands on loading bay sealing in order to keep the cold chain as intact as possible. The dock shelter must provide continuous weather protection throughout the entire loading and unloading operation. Like a glove, the Crawford inflatable dock shelters tighten around the vehicle, preventing air inlet. Customer demands are fulfilled! Rolling top seal for large variations in vehicle height A special inflatable shelter model has been developed in order to cope with large variations in vehicle height. The top seal is a roller design – automatically activated for low or high vehicles. In addition, it follows all vertical movements of the docked vehicle, continuously providing high tightness. Simplified dock-in navigation In rest position, the inflatable dock shelter is completely retracted behind the side structures, giving the vehicle driver the possibility to use the complete width of the loading bay when reversing into it. In addition, yellow front line indicators further facilitate dock-in navigation. Stable collision protectors at ramp height prevent shelter damages. Insulated top and side panels The inflatable dock shelter is installed into a frame construction covered by insulated panels, giving additional insulation effects. The design facilitates easy and fast component exchange, should this be needed. Special ground model for no-ramp applications Normally, dock shelters are installed at dock level, but sometimes a loading ramp is not available. For such applications, a special model of the Crawford inflatable dock shelter is supplied, giving the same high tightness around the entire door opening all the way down to ground level. High quality material composition The side and top inflatable airbags are made of impact resistant material with a strong, woven core. It is nonflammable, color stable and highly resistant to weather impacts – in other words a material well suited for optimal function in rough docking environments. Continous cooling.
