“Creating a working environment where there was none”

In the current climate where logistic companies are continually expanding, we have found that our load house (also known as a load pod or dock house) solutions are proving popular as they are economic and suit a variety of loading bay applications allowing the internal space to be fully utilised. The Dock Solutions load house is a stand-alone separate fully operational loading bay which is mounted externally to the warehouse structure, suitable for extending or upgrading existing buildings, and new build projects. An ideal add-on for warehouses where space is limited as it gives that all needed important extra space, ensuring that valuable internal operational space remains fully utilised. Suitable for all applications although they are particularly recommended for temperature and hygiene-controlled warehouses, distribution centres and storage facilities.

Energy efficient – load houses will not require heating or chilling to the same temperature as the main warehouse, as the load house remains sealed by the existing access door, meaning heat and chill loss is kept to a minimum

Relocatable/movable – Dock Solutions load houses can be dismantled and relocated if required meaning your investment can go with you should you move premises

Protection against vehicle damage to the building – which can prove to be extremely expensive to repair upon the end of your lease!
