insulating shelters

Product catalog summary

Overview: The Alapont retractable insulated dock shelter is a key component of the loading dock assembly, designed to provide protection against wind, heat, and cold, while ensuring an airtight seal between the HGV and the building. This results in significant energy savings and improved warehouse conditions.

Materials and Construction: The dock shelter features a stable structure with an anodised extruded aluminium frame and a rear frame made of galvanised steel. These frames are connected by arms, allowing the shelter to pivot upwards in case of uneven coupling, preventing damage. The structure is covered by a continuous single piece of retractable material, preventing cracks, leaks, and air currents. The material is polyester fibre with a PVC upper layer, offering flexibility and rigidity where needed. Warning bands are included to assist drivers in aligning the HGV.

Dimensions: The dock shelters are designed to fit standard HGV dimensions, measuring 3,400 x 3,400 mm.
