The unloading and loading of goods in the warehouse should be very quick, because this affects the level of the company's profit. For this, many new technologies are used. For example, dock leveler . This device is specially designed to equalize the difference in height between the floor of a building and the body of a car. The leveling of the levels contributes to the speed of loading and unloading, because the products can be loaded directly on pallets, which significantly saves time. Having placed a batch of goods on the dock leveler platform, you just need to push it into the body with a forklift or rocker. In addition, the dock leveler helps to avoid injury to loaders and damage to goods. To load any car, just one person is enough, and not several, as is necessary at various levels of surfaces. The dock leveler is operated by just one person, who is loading or unloading. The device quickly recoups the costs of its purchase, since the injury rate of loaders is reduced, a large number of them are not required, and the loading speed increases. Modern cars have a design that also serves as a rear door.
Another device that significantly increases the speed of loading and unloading operations is sectional doors. Installation of overhead sectional doors in the warehouse should be carried out only by professionals, since the service life of the doors themselves depends on the preparatory work on leveling the surfaces. Unlike swing structures, the sections of such gates are retracted vertically upwards, so the car can drive up close and there is no need to wait until the gate is opened.
However, such structures are installed not only in warehouses. Previously, only large organizations could afford such solutions, but now this technology is available even to ordinary people. Such sectional doors are installed at the entrances to private houses and garages. If the doors are raised manually in warehouses, then in private use an electric drive can be installed on them, controlled by a small remote control.
Although the advantage of such structures is obvious, many do not trust them, claiming that they are not as strong as all-metal ones. But they just don't know about the design. Gate sections are as good as metal sheets and even surpass them. In addition, in terms of thermal insulation, sectional doors are much better, since even additional work on insulating solid doors does not give such a result. Equipment and other items in the garage or warehouse are reliably protected from low temperatures, moisture and other negative factors.
