For a speedy operation, specific dock solutions that perfectly aid the loading and unloading process are crucial to enable a continuous movement of goods. During operation speed and efficiency are essential, at the same time there is a need to ensure the safety of personnel and valuable goods. mydocking’s VanSeal VS250 offers a strong solution for these challenges in the demanding parcel distribution market. The VS250 is specifically designed for the optimal loading and unloading of city vans. The huge variety of different delivery van shapes and sizes requires the seal between the van and the warehouse to be highly versatile. Hence, a unique structure to satisfy all demands was developed. The VanSeal was designed to be durable with soft cushions sealing the area between the van and the door entirely allowing for high energy efficiency within the warehouse. It is equipped with a roof with an integrated rain gutter for weather protection against rain, draughts and snow to ensure the health and happiness of staff and the safety of valuable goods. A basic construction made of pre-galvanised steel and flexible foam cushions that allow for high flexibility make the VanSeal especially durable. For optimal sealing and tear protection, all cushions are coated with a durable synthetic fabric. The horizontal cushions are manually height-adjustable to fit all delivery van sizes and shapes. Special finned side cushions lead to the perfect lateral seal. Thanks to this patented structure, it is possible to position the vertical cushions in an optimal position to protect both the dock shelter and the back of the van perfectly against damage. According to DIN 75200, the dock shelter is flame retardant increasing safety in the loading area. To individualise this dock shelter to the requirements you have, there is the option to choose a recess for rearview cameras. Additionally, you can choose to have white vertical stripes placed on the top side cushion to guide the driver in the perfect parking position. The goal at mydocking is simple – to manufacture high-quality loading technology solutions for an efficient and safe loading environment. Therefore, various dock shelters for all-around protection with different requirements are in the product portfolio, such as flap dock shelters, inflatable and cushion dock seals.
