Loading bay experts sara have produced a new brochure specifically for LOADING HOUSES, also known as DOCK PODS. Loading Houses can be used in a number of different ways but most commonly in temperature controlled buildings or where internal floor space is at a premium. The benefits are that the construction can be produced to suit an ambient building just as easily as a temperature controlled store – the concept is the same.
The Loading House itself is a robust steel frame that can be clad with a variety of materials, for example with a Kingspan composite panel, and is mounted on a steel base already prepared for one of sara’s market leading dock levellers. On the back of the Loading House the thermal barrier is usually a sectional overhead door, electrically operated and sequenced with the dock leveller and traffic light system to produce a tailored, systemised loading bay solution. The sealing between the vehicle and the Loading House can be achieved in a number of ways depending on the thermal efficiency required but dock shelters, cushion seals and inflatable dock shelters are all available and can be fitted to loading houses.

And because the units are modular but tailored, delivery and installation is quick and without fuss and carried out using sara’s own engineers: another way of conserving energy.
A recent example of just how practical Loading Houses can be is shown in the accompanying image; this depot near Bristol serves a major UK retailer where the relationship has been in place for 35 years.
Other products available from sara include: Sprint fast acting doors, sectional overhead doors, roller shutters of all types including insulated and high speed, as well as a complete range of loading dock equipment. Swing lip and telescopic lip dock levellers – fixed, retractable and inflatable dock shelters as well as a full range of cushion pad seals, dock bumpers, traffic lights and dock lights.
