Delta Mechanical Dock Shelter

Delta Mechanical Dock Shelter is the most commonly used because they cater for a mixed vehicle fleet with curtains that extend in from the sides and head allowing a vehicle to push through and keep the worst of the elements at bay. The curtains are designed to flex but maintain contact with the rear of the vehicle to maintain the “seal”.

Introduce

Usually retractable dock shelters are circa 3500 x 3500 x 600mm deep and are installed at warehouse floor level. A tolerance of approximately 400mm should be allowed above the tallest vehicle to ensure a long life for the head curtain. Special sizes are available to suit level entry doors or special size vehicles.
Retractable Dock Shelters are made from good quality materials – in fact the front curtain material started life as abrasion resistant conveyor belting!
The retractable frame is made from galvanized steel to make sure it lasts the course when exposed to the elements and just in case the shelter gets accidentally hit the arms are designed to retract out of harm’s way by moving back and up.
Retractable Dock Shelters are commonly used on ambient unheated or part heated warehouses where weathering of the opening and protection of the goods are the main criteria.
