INTELLIGENT DETAILS FOR OPTIMUM CONNECTION.

Easy to fit Reliable fixing of the dock levellers in the building structure
is especially important for safety and a basic requirement for
a lasting function. Where pit models are used, cut-outs indicate
the precise position of the optimum welding seam. The fitting
by casting process is supported by intelligent fitting details such
as screw-in adjustment angles, extremely sturdy flat anchors
and air vents in the edge bracket.

Effective
thermal insulation
Matched energy-efficient solutions at the loading site offer tremendous energy-saving
potential. With interior solutions, the aim is to effectively reduce heat losses via the steel
structure of the dock levellers. Insulation below the dock leveller and doors running in front
of the dock leveller are now an indispensable part of temperature-controlled buildings. With
loading houses, the entire loading site is positioned in front of the building. The thermally
insulated external door provides an optimum building closure outside of loading times.

INSULATED DOOR SOLUTIONS. Well-insulated industrial doors are essential
in temperature-controlled buildings to keep energy losses to a minimum. Doors
with thermal break and ThermoFrame also improve thermal insulation. High-quality
seals on the side frames, lintel and floor as standard reduce thermal losses.
The door guide in front of the dock leveller set back in the building to an
insulation panel effectively prevents in-house solutions from losing energy
outside of loading times.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT CONCEPTS. Selecting the right components can

reduce energy costs in new builds and renovations. We advise you how to get
the best return on your investment, e.g. in an inflatable dock seal, an insulated
dock leveller or thermally insulated loading house.
HÖRMANN 11
Insulated
dock levellers
The HTL2 ISO efficiently reduces energy losses via the dock leveller (transmission and
ventilation losses). Equipped with 50 mm thick insulation panels underneath the platform
and a patented, moving insulation panel underneath the lip, this dock leveller improves
insulation in the home position and during loading (working position) by around 55%.

* Determined under test conditions with exclusive consideration of the dock leveller,
without assumptions regarding peripheral factors such as the door, number of loading
sites, etc. The effect of the seals underneath the platform is not taken into account.
Therefore, the thermal protection effect is even higher in practice.
HÖRMANN 13
Long-lasting, reliable
construction
The S 235 moulded steel platform of the dock leveller is made of a single piece up to a size
of 2000 × 3000 mm. With wider and longer dock levellers, a carefully made welding seam
joins the plates, resulting in a continuously sturdy platform. The number and design of the
girders prevent deformation, caused by lane grooves for example, beyond the degree
required by EN 1398.

TESTED AND CERTIFIED. Hörmann loading houses
Static calculation in
accordance with EN 1990 meet all requirements regarding stability and safety with
their narrow design both inside and outside. The LHP 2
version with double-skinned panels is suitable as standard
All versions CE-compliant
for roof loads up to 3 kN/‌m². The frame construction is
dimensioned according to Eurocode “Basis of structural
design” as well as Eurocode 1 and 3 and certified according
to EN 1090. With standard-compliant components, CE label
and online declaration of performance, CE conformity can
be verified at any time.
ROBUST AND FLEXIBLE. Made of galvanised steel, the

frame constructions of the flap dock shelters are extremely
robust and flexible at the same time. High-quality tarpaulin
material ensures a good seal to the vehicle. The bar-free
DDF10, with foam-filled side cushions that deflect without
damage when the lorry approaches at an angle, are
especially durable. The advantage of inflatable dock seals
is that the cushions have no contact with the vehicle when
docking. This also adds to the longevity.
HÖRMANN 15
Fast and safe
loading and unloading
Efficient loading is only possible when the load is moved in or out of the lorry in a single
horizontal movement. Hörmann dock levellers with particularly flat transitions are the ideal
solution to compensate for the difference in height between different lorry loading surfaces
and the loading platform. The loading process is much faster and damage to the transported
goods is avoided.

SIMPLE OPERATION FOR PRECISE POSITIONING.
Telescopic lip dock levellers can be extended and retracted
in a targeted manner via separate control buttons, and can
be precisely placed on the loading surface under control.
In addition, notches on the outside indicate the correct
contact area on the loading surface. The continuous and
precise extending and lowering of the telescopic lip allows
simple and safe unloading of even fully loaded lorries.
This way, even pallets that are situated at the end of the
vehicle’s loading surface and thus only provide limited
telescopic lip space, can be loaded.
VEHICLES SECURED TO PREVENT ROLLING AWAY.

Even when the lorry is well docked, its position can still
change during the loading process, e.g. due to the forklift
braking when entering and exiting. The new wheel-
blocking system MWB2 effectively ensures that the lorry
remains as intended in the safe docking position during
the loading process.
SAFETY THROUGH LIGHT AND LIGHT SIGNALS.

Lack of visual contact and rapid movement sequences
at the loading site makes it difficult for the lorry driver
and warehouse personnel to communicate. Interior
and exterior warning lights provide visual information,
e.g. that the lorry has reached the docking position and
is secured. Docklights with a swivel arm ensure a well-lit
loading area, both day and night.
HÖRMANN 17
Energy-efficient and sustainable
loading with the DOBO system
With Hörmann DOBO docking systems (docking before opening), the hall door and vehicle
doors are only opened when it is really necessary. The lorry docks with its doors closed.
The doors are positioned inside the hall once the hall door has opened. From the docking
assistant, the dock shelter, and the dock leveller to the movable buffers, all components
are optimally matched to each other. DOBO systems can be implemented particularly
easily with loading houses.

The DOBO system allows the lorry to dock with its doors closed and open
and position them inside the hall once the hall door has opened.
SPEED. The DOBO system saves approx. CUSTOMS CLEARANCE PROCEDURE. The

Building and
vehicle protection
Damage to the vehicle and the ramp can be avoided only through careful and precise
docking. High-quality approach buffers absorb the lorry's dynamic forces during the docking
operation. Robust impact absorber profile bollards prevent expensive collision damage
indoors and outdoors on doors or dock shelters. Docking assistance systems carefully guide
the driver to the ramp with warning lights.

Wheel guides and docking assistant DAP Lightguide manoeuvring guide
TARGETED AND CENTRED DOCKING. Wheel guides and

visual manoeuvring guides direct the driver during the docking
operation. A good docking position ensures the function of dock
shelter and dock leveller. Sophisticated systems such as the
DAP docking assistant and Lightguide manoeuvring guide help
the driver selectively reduce the approach speed.
IMPACT FORCES EFFECTIVELY DISSIPATED. The forces

that arise during docking can be huge. PU and steel buffers
are much more resistant to wear and damage than those made
of rubber. The absorption, however, is also important to the
longevity of the ramp as a whole. The hollow chamber buffer
behind the steel plate of the SB 15 and SB 20 does a great job
of intercepting docking forces.

DOCK LEVELLERS. An optimum
strategy for the right dock levellers
improves efficiency in any logistics
company. Select the ramp height so
that the height difference to the lorry
loading surface is as small as possible.
You should also consider the vertical
movement of the vehicle, e.g. due
to the spring travel during loading
and unloading, or the parking heights
for swap containers.
➔ Further information can be found

starting on page 38.
24 APPLICATION AREAS
TOP LEFT. Hydraulic dock levellers effortlessly bridge greater height differences.
The HLS2 with hinged lip is available with a rated load of up to 180 kN for loading
heavy goods.
TOP RIGHT. Mechanical dock levellers are suitable for fast loading and unloading thanks
to their almost identical loading surface heights and small difference in height to the
loading platform.
BOTTOM. Hörmann dock levellers with particularly flat transitions are the ideal solution
to compensate for the difference in height between different loading surfaces and the
loading platform.
HÖRMANN 25
LOADING HOUSES. Energy losses outside of loading times are minimized
because the entire loading site is placed in front of the hall and the door
closes the hall completely. This makes it easy to implement sustainable
loading concepts. In addition, loading houses are highly recommended in
modernisations because the hall can be fully utilised up the external walls.
Loading houses can be arranged at different angles, depending on the
available exterior area, so as to create sufficient room for movement for
docking. If a high number of loading sites is required, loading houses can
be coupled to create in-line arrangements that are both inexpensive and
visually appealing.
TOP LEFT. Loading houses in an angled
arrangement provide a space-saving
solution if external space is limited.
TOP RIGHT. Loading houses with the

DOBO system are ideal for energy-
saving concepts.
BOTTOM. Protection of personnel and

goods against adverse weather effects.
The double-skinned cladding of the
loading house also reduces noise
during the loading process.
HÖRMANN 27
TOP LEFT. Flap dock shelters are the first choice
for different vehicle sizes.
TOP RIGHT. Inflatable dock seals are ideal for energy-

saving loading concepts. The cushions are well
protected in the home position and are not in
contact with the vehicle when docking. Only then
do they effectively enclose the vehicle.
BOTTOM. The cushion dock seal BBS fulfils the

special requirements of delivery vans, as its shape
is optimally matched to the outer contour of these
vehicles.
DOCK SHELTERS AND SEALS. Seal the clearance between
the building and the lorry. As a result, they protect goods and
personnel against adverse weather effects when the door is
open. They also effectively reduce ventilation heat losses during
the loading and unloading process, hence saving energy costs.
Dock seals and shelters are particularly efficient when they
are optimally adapted to the docking vehicles and the loading
situation concerned. Hörmann offers a wide range of flexible
versions with individual equipment options such as inflatable
corner cushions.
HÖRMANN 29
BUFFERS, MOUNTING PLATES AND MOUNTING BRACKETS.
Buffers are an indispensable part of the loading site. Protect
buildings and vehicles against damage by the lorry’s dynamic
forces during the docking operation. Selecting the right design
version, correct dimensioning and proper positioning are essential
for optimum effectiveness of the buffers. Mounting brackets
can be used to adjust the buffers to a higher docking position.
TOP. Buffers DB 15 and DB 20 made of rubber or PU protect against
damage by docking forces.
BOTTOM LEFT. The VBV4 and VBV5 moving buffers are used in the energy-
saving DOBO loading concept. The buffer can be lowered once the
docking operation is complete.
BOTTOM RIGHT. The SB 15 and SB 20 steel buffers combine longevity

with outstanding absorption properties and are the ideal choice for a high
docking frequency.
HÖRMANN 31
MANOEUVRING GUIDE, DOCKING ASSISTANT AND WHEEL
BLOCKING. Wheel guides or electronic docking aids assist the
driver with docking and prevent damage to the vehicle and ramp.
A precise docking position is important for effective support of the
dock leveller, a safe loading process and the proper functionality
of the dock shelter. In addition, we recommend measures such as
wheel chocks or wheel-blocking systems to ensure that the lorry
remains in its safe docking position.
TOP LEFT. The steel wheel guide assists the
driver with docking. The WSPG wheel chock
with sensor releases the loading platform only
upon contact with the tyre.
TOP CENTRE. The Lightguide manoeuvring guide

scores points when visibility is poor.
TOP RIGHT. The electronic docking aid DAP helps

the driver approach the ramp using warning lights.
BOTTOM. The MWB2 wheel-blocking system

reliably prevents the lorry from unintentionally
rolling away and causing danger. This can
happen, for example, when the forklift enters
and leaves.
HÖRMANN 33
TOP. Warning lights outside communicate with the
driver using internationally understandable traffic
light colours.
BOTTOM LEFT. In addition to warning lights, acoustic

signal transmitters also increase workplace safety
and warn in case of malfunction.
BOTTOM CENTRE. Steel bollards protect against

damage by industrial trucks
BOTTOM RIGHT. The LED docklight ensures good

visibility in the loading area.
SIGNAL TRANSMITTERS, WORKING LAMPS AND
BOLLARDS. If there is no visual contact at the loading site,
communication between the lorry driver and logistics personnel
is limited. Interior and exterior warning lights provide visual
information, e.g. that the lorry has reached the docking position
and is secured. A green light outside means the driver can leave
the ramp after the loading process. There is usually insufficient
additional lighting in the lorry's loading area. Docklights with
a swivel arm ensure a well-lit loading area, both day and night.
Loading is so much safer and faster. In addition, damage to the
transported goods is largely avoided.

The continuous and precise extending and lowering of the
telescopic lip allows simple and safe unloading of even
fully loaded lorries. This way, even pallets that are situated
at the end of the vehicle’s loading surface and thus only
provide limited telescopic lip space, can be loaded.
Notches on the outside indicate the correct contact
area on the loading surface (100 – 150 mm).
The lip is slightly tilted to guarantee convenient contact
with the loading surface. Flat transitions from the platform
to the lip and to the loading surface ensure safe loading .

Simple operation
Hörmann controllers are clear, simple and well designed.
An LED light shows the operation status.
Hinged lip dock levellers are operated with one button via
a press-and-hold actuation . As soon as the platform
has reached its highest level, the lip will automatically fold
out. Operation of the platform and lip is separate with
telescopic lip dock levellers. Furthermore, two separate
buttons for extension and retraction allow exact
placement of the telescopic lip.
1-button operation of telescopic lip dock levellers

Operation of telescopic lip dock levellers is extremely
convenient if the loading surface is not higher than the
ramp: the dock leveller can then be moved into position
by simply pressing the “Extend telescopic lip” button.
The platform automatically raises a few centimetres before
the telescopic lip extends.
Automatic return to the home position

With only one impulse, the dock leveller is completely
returned to the home position. This equipment is standard

Hydraulic dock levellers with integrated RFID technology
Non-contact reliable recording of the transported goods
Integrated RFID technology

Only from Hörmann The proportion of euro-pallets equipped with RFID
technology is steadily increasing, in line with the increasing
demand for the automated flow of goods. The RFID
readers and antennae required for this process are often
elaborately installed as a gate around the loading ramp
door. Disadvantages of this installation: it occupies
valuable space, collisions with the industrial truck can lead
to equipment damage and undesirable shielding effects
and excessive ranges can occur.
The shortest path is the best

When the transponder is fitted onto the pallet, the
antennae should also be installed nearby. The solution:
the antennas are fitted directly underneath the dock
leveller, which is permeable to RFID radio signals. With
this patented solution, the transponder data reliably
reaches the reader via the shortest route, directly when
crossing the dock leveller.
Advantages at a glance:
• Reliable transmission due to short distance between
the reader and transponder
• The RFID reader is securely fitted underneath the dock
leveller, preventing collision damage or damage by
mechanical impact
• Minimal soiling due to the protected location of the
readers
• Cable-based, stable and reliable data transfer from the
reader to the follow-up IT station
• Very economical because only the dock leveller has
to be equipped with the RFID technology, and not
industrial vehicles such as forklifts

These designs have a self-supporting frame with an all-round edge

Fitting by casting with prefabricated concrete parts

When constructing a building with many loading sites, it is common
practice to use prefabricated concrete elements. Dock levellers HLS 2
and HTL 2 as fitting model FR can be simply installed during the
construction phase. The anchors are either welded to the dimensioned
reinforcement or rowlocks before the dock leveller is cast. This creates
a consistent concrete ceiling.

Fitting by casting with a formwork construction

With this fitting method, dock levellers HLS 2 and HTL 2 are supplied
as box model B with a casting box. The design is completely closed
on the rear and equipped with reinforcement profiles on the sides,
so that the side panels do not deform when casting along entire height.
Subsequent fitting by welding

Dock levellers HLS 2 and HTL 2 as frame model F are intended for
subsequent, simple fitting by welding. This can be a good alternative
• if it is not yet clear which lip version is required, for example
• as the aim is to prevent the dock leveller from being damaged during
the construction phase.
A preassembled frame is cast into the pit during the construction phase.
Unlike pit model B, frame model F is simply hung into the pit and then
welded on three sides. Practical ventilation holes
Air pockets weaken the connection of
the dock leveller to the building structure.
The area below the edge bracket is at the
greatest risk here. Ventilation holes in the
edge bracket allow air to escape during
compression and thus ensure a positive
connection.

it ideal for delivery vans . The sensor-controlled weight
compensation reduces the strain on the delivery van as

table, it is also possible to lift goods
from the roadway level to the building
floor easily and quickly, or vice versa,
to lower them from the building to the
roadway level. The function as a dock
leveller is blocked in this situation.

Adjustable pedestal feet

The height of the loading house pedestal feet can be adjusted to
optimally adapt to the building level. This facilitates fitting and also
allows any building subsidence to be compensated, even after
many years.
Optimum drainage 90°

Loading houses are drained to the front with a standard roof slope
of 2%. A roof slope of 10% is possible as an option under certain
circumstances. On request, a rain gutter can also be fitted to the
loading house in conjunction with a drainpipe .

The max. roof load is 1 kN/‌m ² as standard, optionally
3 kN/‌m². The inside of the roof can be made condensate-

the roof is made with sandwich panels and additional
condensate-inhibiting equipment is not required.
Double-skinned: type LHP 2 with 60 mm thick

steel panels
The side walls and the roof panel are made of double-
skinned 60 mm thick steel panels. Type LHP 2 is
particularly recommended in addition to the protection
against adverse weather effects to inhibit the noise
transmission during loading and to prevent the effects of
heat on refrigerated goods due to sunlight. This loading
house carries a roof load of up to 3 kN/‌m ² as standard.
For an appealing appearance, the side walls are fitted
concealed without visible bolts.
Surfaces for LHP 2 side walls and roof panels:

• LL
• M8L
• M16L

Loading house types LHP 2 and LHC 2 are delivered

wall panels are available on request.
Unlimited variety of designs: type LHF 2

Any suitable cladding can be fitted on the frame
construction on-site – recommended if the building’s
facade is also intended to determine the appearance
of the loading house. The LHP 2 is designed as standard
for horizontal cladding . However, it can also be
prepared for vertical cladding on request.

Optimum thermal insulation: insulated air lock
If the loading house is located directly inside a cooling
zone, there are considerably higher requirements for
thermal insulation. Hörmann insulated air locks are equipped
with an 80 mm thick sandwich cladding in the roof, wall
and floor areas. For the front closure, we recommend
an industrial sectional door SPU 67 Thermo with a depth
of 67 mm.
NOTE. Insulated air locks must be effectively dehumidified.

All joints must be professionally and appropriately sealed
by a specialist company for cooling and refrigeration
technology.
Loading houses with DOBO system

A DOBO system can be implemented particularly easily
with loading houses as it can be placed in front of the
building. The base construction of the DOBO dock leveller
with stepped side elements is already prepared for the
fitting of a standard loading house.
For further information on the DOBO system, see page 72.
Coupled in-line arrangements

With large in-line arrangements, coupled loading houses
can provide both an inexpensive and visually appealing
alternative under the following conditions:
• Arrangement 90°
• Axis dimension max. 4000 mm (distance middle –
middle of dock leveller)
The roof clad with sandwich panels takes loads

up to 1.75 kN/‌m², optionally up to 3 kN/‌m².
Front door closure

In order to protect the loading house from unwanted
influences and soiling even outside of loading times,
rolling shutter Decotherm SB can be fitted in the front
area. A sectional door can also be fitted, but this requires
a higher loading house due to the space required for the
door guide and possibly also a longer dock leveller.

Flap dock shelter DDF 10

with side cushion and lifting roof
With particularly tear-resistant flaps on foam-filled side
cushions, the DDF 10 dock shelter is an alternative
to the flap dock shelter with link or scissors arms.
The investment pays off: side cushions are simply
pressed in the case of inexact docking or move off
to the side. The side flaps are fastened to the side
cushions with Velcro. This allows for simple and
inexpensive exchange in case of damage. The top part
is upwardly mobile , i.e. it can move upwards

Manoeuvring guides
Targeted and safe docking
Manoeuvring guides
Manoeuvring guides assist the driver with centred
docking at the loading site. Hörmann offers a wide
range of options, such as wheel guides made of steel
or the optical Lightguide manoeuvring guide. A high
and long wheel guide generally offers maximum
guidance. Depending on the local conditions, it may
be useful to resort to a smaller version.
The straight wheel guide WSM has a diameter

of approx. 115 mm at a height of 220 mm.
The WBM with a diameter of 170 mm, a height of

320 mm and 3 fixing points offers more stability and
a longer service life. The curve guiding results in an
entrance funnel. It is available in various lengths.
Where a low height is crucial, e.g. when simply starting

up and shutting down flatbeds, the WBL is the ideal
choice, also in a curved version, but with a diameter
of approx. 115 mm and a height of just 180 mm.
The Lightguide manoeuvring guide uses energy-

saving LED technology to aid the approach to the
ramp even in the dark or when visibility is impaired
by precipitation.

Light signals, lights, impact absorber profile bollards
and collision guards
Protection for equipment and structural elements
LED traffic lights

An additional optical control is provided by the
combination with a signalling system. Hörmann LED
traffic lights are energy-efficient, extremely durable
and easily recognisable even in direct sunlight. Fitted
outside, depending on the system drivers can quickly
see whether they have reached the docking position
or whether the loading process is complete and can
drive away safely. Warning lights can be combined
as required with Hörmann door control units, the dock
leveller control 460 S / T and docking assistance
systems.
Docklight
Docklights provide a safe and bright work environment
and good illumination of the loading area, even at night.
We recommend the energy-saving LED docklight
DL 1400 with 30 W power consumption for a good
and even illumination.
Impact absorber profile bollards

The extremely robust bollards made of galvanized steel
protect door systems, machines and building from
collision damage at certain points. They are used
indoors and outdoors, on both sides or a loading site
for example, to protect the door frame during the
loading process.
Impact absorber profile collision guards

For 2-dimensional protection of doors, machinery
racks and buildings indoors and outdoors, in the
parking area of fire sliding doors for example, we
recommend the heavy-duty impact absorber profile
collision guards. Thanks to the galvanized steel
painted in Rapeseed yellow RAL 1021, the guards
offer very good crash protection and have the effect
of an optical warning.
