These so-called XXL buildings with many loading docks are the result of economic growth and the popularity of online ordering. In such construction projects installation teams must adhere to a very tight schedule for assembly of the door kits. To speed up the assembly this new door has been developed. In fact, this is not really a new door: it is a pre-assembled spring package, which has the benefit of requiring up to 40% less assembly time. Benefits at a glance Shorter installation time. The Dock Door Easy-Install consists of a sectional door with a lowered spring package. The difference when compared with other rail systems is that the spring package is already assembled in Alpha’s production facility. Previously, these were supplied as separate parts that still had to be assembled on site. Optimal efficiency The Dock Door Easy-Install kit is different to regular dock doors: rails, panels and parts are packaged separately. This means that work can be carried out more efficiently. Lower costs Because of the shorter assembly time, it is easy to see that in addition to reduced labour costs, additional costs, such as renting an aerial work platform, are also lower because of a shorter installation time being possible. The two illustrations below illustrate the key benefit: The Dock Door Easy-Install spring package is available for use with all types of Alpha panels, offering a flexible solution for the many challenges presented by distribution and logistics centres. Criteria: • All panel thicknesses Alpha has in its portfolio; 40mm, 60mm and 80mm can be used with this system. • One aluminium panel with glazing can substitute one of the standard panels in the set. • Maximum door size 3200mm x 3200mm • Available for T400 and T500 rail systems.
