Our client is a global retailer with more than 40 local brands in over 30 countries, we are proud to be chosen again to upgrade their loading bays. On this project we have upgraded two loading bays to accept a wider range of vehicle sizes, whiles also giving an effective energy efficient seal.

Armo Specialist Installation team installed the new Armo Inflatable Dock Shelter and a ARRS Insulated Roller Shutter Door, Rubber Buffers and Plates, Integrated Control Panel and LED Traffic Lights.

ARRS Insulated Roller Shutter Door

This is a derivation of the standard roller shutter, the insulated roller shutter door is manufactured in a very similar way, but the curtain is formed with two laths with insulation material between them. The roll when the door is open is a larger diameter, but it requires significantly less space behind the door than a sectional overhead door.

Like the standard roller shutter, the insulated roller shutter can be finished in a number of ways, the most popular being powder coated and Plastisol. Both options you can match doors to a co-ordinated colour scheme with cladding or a corporate image

Armo Inflatable Dock Shelter model ARIS

The ARIS inflatable dock shelter is growing in popularity as more comprehensive control of vehicles and equipment becomes available. The frame size is like that of a retractable shelter, but the narrow side curtains conceal deflated polyurethane inflatable cushions; the head is similar.

The use of inflatable seals works very simply; the vehicle arrives at the dock usually with an external traffic light showing green, when the warehouse operative is alerted to the presence of the vehicle. Once the fan is energised the cushions fill with high volume, low pressure air and maintain steady contact on the sides and roof of the vehicle providing a good tight seal, reducing the ingress of the elements and keeping in expensively generated warm or cooled air.

Although inflatable seals are made to standard dimensions Armo also provides a service to make special sizes to fit to existing buildings and special applications.

We also installed Dock Buffers and Backing Plates, Armo buffers are manufactured from heavy duty solid rubber, fixed to a primed and painted solid steel backing plate using M24 fixings, the plate in turn is bolted back to the dock face and additionally welded to the dock leveller frame to provide a long lasting solid fixing.

Armo has many year’s experience in the use of integrated systems for loading bays, the ARIS is commonly initiated by the door control buttons and linked to the operation of external LED traffic lights, to provide safe and efficient control of the loading bay.
