The retractable dock shelter AB ALU is manufactured with a complete structure in anodized aluminium profiles. It is made to last against the constant aggressions suffered by this device. It is extremely resistant to dampness, abrasion and aging caused by radiation from the sun. The curtains are made of a reinforced polyamide fabric covered with a thick layer of PVC. Both the metallic structure and the canvases have reinforcements at critical points, where the wind can cause tears or breaks due to lateral movements.
The shelter ensures a good thermal protection and prevents air, water, gases, dust, insects, etc. entering. To prevent the accumulation of water on the roof, the design includes a forward inclination and a piping profile, also in aluminium, allowing drainage to the sides. In the back have been inserted rubber profiles which improve the sealing with the façade and help to avoid water infiltration.
Optionally, AB-ALU retractable dock shelter can be equipped with the Signal Shelter intelligent system, to make easier the positional manoeuvres of vehicles in the loading docks by led lights in the profiles.
