Special solutions for parcel services and transit vans The cushion dock seal BBS has been specially developed for small transport vehicles, e.g. for parcel delivery services. It consists of three foam-filled cushions, which ensure optimum sealing between the vehicle and the loading bay. The design has been optimised for Mercedes Sprinters and VW Crafters with high roof. The conical shape of the black cushions was adapted exactly to their shape, so that it fits the rear contours of the most common transit vans without creating a gap. The seal is also guaranteed for hinged doors with an opening...

Proper planning Sustainability begins with planning Loading technology inside the building For interior solutions, the door usually closes on the dock leveller, so that in temperaturecontrolled buildings unnecessary energy losses through the dock leveller are prevented. Hörmann concepts with a door running in front of the dock leveller and an insulated panel under the dock leveller offer the following advantages: • Improved thermal insulation: The heat loss outside of the loading time is minimised. • Protection against weather conditions: warehouse staff are well protected behind the door. Dock...
