Hormann unveils new doors for warehouses

DUBAI, December 12, 2016

Hormann Group, a leading provider of doors and gates in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, has launched the Dobo System, that allows docking of a truck or trailer while its doors are still closed.

In some 27 specialised factories across Europe, North America and Asia, Hormann develops and produces quality gates, garage, industrial, hinged and fire-resistant doors, loading equipment, frames, and operators for residential, commercial and industrial purposes.

The German door maker set up its own subsidiary in 2009 at Jebel Ali Free Zone in Dubai to serve the entire Middle East region.

The new Dobo system is in contrast to the conventional loading systems of Hormann MEA, said a statement from the company.

Once in the unloading position at the dock, the warehouse doors can then be safely opened. Until that time, the goods remain well-protected inside the vehicle.

For additional safety, the driver can safely dock without exiting the vehicle. This minimises the risk of accidents in the danger zone between the vehicle and ramp.

In addition to safety considerations, the Dobo system is described as being the ideal solution for hygienic transport, to ensure uninterrupted cold chains, lower energy costs, enhanced security and theft prevention.

On the new Dobo system, Darius Khanloo, managing director at Hormann MEA, said: "It facilitates the use of swap bodies, which can be docked in the evening and unloaded in the morning without unnecessary manoeuvring around a compound and as for checks at custom posts, the truck’s doors can, where necessary, remain closed until the arrival of officials."

"Ensuring reliable sealing, as soon as the lorry is docked, the dock seal DAS-3 is inflated and seals the vehicle from three sides," he explained.

After the door is completely opened, the telescopic lip of the dock leveller is extended and easily bridges the gap between the ramp and the loading floor and can be precisely positioned up to the last centimetre.

The Dobo system can also be implemented in conjunction with a loading house, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
