Loading dock door

Short definitionThe sectional door where the vehicle docks and loading takes place.

It is the transfer point between the store and the vehicle. The door opens upwards, the vehicle body backs up against it and loading is done without breaking the cold chain.

In most cold stores the loading dock door opens onto the anteroom, not directly onto a cold room. The number of doors depends on how many vehicles are to be loaded at the same time.
