Normstahl LH608AL Loadhouse
Docking system for heavy duty operation and light version stand alone loadhouse
The Normstahl LH608AL loadhouse is a loading system that represents a complete and stand-alone unit that is installed in front of the building. It comprises all components of a docking system: an Autodock leveler, a dock shelter and an overhead sectional door.
The Normstahl LH608AL loadhouse represents a cutting-edge solution in the realm of logistics and warehousing, delivering a comprehensive loading system that streamlines operations and enhances efficiency. Designed as a complete and stand-alone unit, the LH608AL is strategically positioned outside the building, directly in front of the door opening. This innovative design not only optimizes loading and unloading processes but also offers significant advantages over traditional internal ramps, particularly for both new constructions and existing facilities looking to enhance their operational capabilities without necessitating extensive modifications to the building’s structure.
At the heart of the Normstahl LH608AL loadhouse is an integration of essential components that form a highly effective docking system. This system includes an Autodock leveler, which ensures seamless transitions between the loading dock and transport vehicles; a dock shelter that provides protection against the elements and optimizes energy efficiency; and an overhead sectional door that facilitates easy access while ensuring security and thermal insulation. Each of these components is meticulously detailed in their respective product datasheets, showcasing their individual features and specifications.
Since it is installed outside the building directly in front of the door opening it has great advantages over a conventional internal ramp for both new buildings as well as for existing buildings that are to be upgraded without any major modifications to the construction of the building. As a standard the entire steel frame construction of the Normstahl LH608AL loadhouse is hot dip galvanised. Recommended options are a roof drainage system and flashing, adapted to your building.
In summary, the Normstahl LH608AL loadhouse is a state-of-the-art loading solution that combines innovative design, durable materials, and enhanced functionality. Its integration of essential docking components, coupled with the option for tailored enhancements, makes it a valuable asset for any business looking to optimize their logistics and loading processes. With the Normstahl LH608AL, companies can expect improved efficiency, reduced operational costs, and a more streamlined approach to their loading and unloading operations.
Key features of LH608AL:
Same storage area, smaller building
The load house makes it possible to move the actual loading and unloading area outside the building and thereby releasing the corresponding floor area inside.
Better insulation
The Normstahl LH608AL Loadhouse also forms a protective barrier between building and vehicle, contributing to energy savings and an improved working environment. Dock levelers and shelters can be integrated with the load house, together forming a complete Autodocksystem.
Cost-effective construction
As there is no need for complicated concrete pit construction the total cost of the building is reduced.
Technical Information
- Thermal separation of warehouse and docking system guarantees considerable energy saving, important for temperature controlled and freezer warehouses.
- Easy and fast installation of pre-assembled components on existing foundations which can be fastened on the outside wall of the building, without disrupting the daily use of the building.
- The cladding consists either of non-insulated profile sheet material or of 40 mm insulation panels; it can also be cladded with the material of the warehouse facade.
- The Normstahl LH608AL loadhouse design allows the use of an Autodock swinglip or telescopic lip leveler and the installation of a mechanical or inflatable dock shelter, whatever best suits the loading frequency.
- Because of individual components it can be installed as a single house or a multiple system.
- The single house can be installed at a 45° or 135° angle if the room in front of the loading system is limited.
- The storage room in the warehouse is extended since the complete docking system is placed outside the building.
- Even shorter tax depreciation periods are possible. Please ask your tax lawyer
