Dock Houses & External Vestibules

Prefabricated Modular Dock Houses and External Loading Pods

DoorHan modular dock houses (loading pods) are external self-contained steel structures installed directly on the outside facade of warehouse buildings. By housing the dock leveler, sectional door, and dock shelter outside the primary facility perimeter, dock houses preserve 100% of usable indoor floor area, eliminate expensive concrete pit excavations inside the warehouse, and maximize thermal separation.

Designed for fast bolted assembly on site, DoorHan dock houses can be configured for straight 90-degree docking or angled layouts (30, 45, 60 degrees) where logistics yard truck maneuvering space is restricted.

Key Technical Specifications & Engineering Standards:

• Maximizes Internal Floor Space: Frees valuable warehouse square footage by relocating loading equipment outside the building footprint.
• Superior Thermal Separation: The building exterior sectional door closes completely in front of the dock leveler directly onto the concrete floor, eliminating cold draft infiltration.
• Angled Bay Configurations: 30°, 45°, and 60° angled vestibules enable efficient docking in tight logistics yards with narrow turning radiuses.
• Rigid Galvanized Subframe: Heavy steel pedestal frame supports full dynamic dock loads (60 kN) with integrated leveling jacks for height adjustment.
• Turnkey Modular Delivery: Delivered in pre-engineered modular flat-pack kits for rapid, clean installation without disrupting ongoing indoor warehouse operations.

Quality Assurance & Engineering Compliance:

DoorHan dock loading systems, hydraulic levelers, and external dock houses comply strictly with European standard EN 1398 and CE Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Each leveler platform is factory proof-tested for dynamic point load capacities up to 100 kN with built-in emergency velocity fuses to prevent platform free-fall during unexpected truck departures. Full architectural pit installation drawings, civil foundation guides, and hydraulic line diagrams are available for engineering teams.

DoorHan dock houses offer modern logistics developers the ultimate modular solution for facility expansion, thermal optimization, and rapid project commissioning.
