In conclusion, the Normstahl SM1A curtain dock shelter not only offers a practical approach to energy savings but also enhances the operational efficiency of loading and unloading processes. With its robust construction, high wear resistance, and thoughtful design, it represents a smart investment for any business looking to improve its logistics and operational workflow.
Unique fixation of front curtains to frame
Unlike conventional mechanical dock shelters, the front curtains of the Normstahl SM1A curtain dock shelter are fixed to the front frames with steel balls. The steel balls hold the fabric in place inside the frame in a flexible way allowing movement during impact from trucks.
The result is that the tear resistance of the fabric is increased and breaking points are avoided. This solution is based on factory made holes in the fabric versus holes made by screws or nits.
High focus on the environment
All Normstahl mechanical dock shelters can be equipped with a number of standard options for improved working conditions and less draught into the building. See the next page for more detailed information.
