A method of transferring air cargo loading units (12) between a publicly accessible operational zone (A) and a security-sensitive apron zone (B), including a stationary transfer and security checking system (10) which comprises a first transfer device (22), a second transfer device (24), and a cargo lock (14) in between, the cargo lock (14) including a lock chamber (16) which is connected to the first transfer device (22) via a cargo entrance gate (18) and to the second transfer device (24) via a cargo exit gate (20), includes the following method steps: a) the air cargo loading units (12) are delivered by a road or rail transport means (28) via the publicly accessible operational zone (A); b) the cargo entrance gate (18) is opened with the cargo exit gate (20) in the closed condition; c) the air cargo loading units (12) are transported into the lock chamber (16) by means of the first transfer device (22); d) the lock chamber (16) is separated from the publicly accessible operational zone (A) by closing the cargo entrance gate (18); e) a security check of the air cargo loading units (12) is performed in the closed lock chamber (16); f) the lock chamber (16) is connected to the security-sensitive apron zone (B) by opening the cargo exit gate (20); g) the air cargo loading units (12) are loaded onto air cargo apron transport units (34) by means of the second transfer device (24). The present invention further relates to a transfer and security checking system (10) for carrying out this method.

Example dock levelers with a pivotal deck and a translating lip having weather shields for sheltering an area underneath the deck are disclosed herein. An example method disclosed herein includes selectively providing a weather shield by performing at least one of joining or separating a main shield segment and a secondary shield segment to provide, respectively, a first weather shield having a first size or a second weather shield having a second size, where the first size being larger than the second size, and where the first weather shield includes the main shield segment and the secondary shield segment, and the second weather shield includes the main shield segment without the secondary shield segment. The method also includes installing at least one of the first weather shield or the second weather shield underneath the deck.

A loading wharf includes a compact structure secured to the perimeter of an access opening formed in a wall of a building. The compact structure defining between the inner and outer faces of the wall, an intermediate space for placement of protective members and a folding ramp both of which move between an operational position in which protective members and ramp project from the intermediate space towards the outside, in order to interact with the body or trailer of the vehicle to be loaded or unloaded, and a non-operational position in which the protective members and ramp are positioned inside the intermediate space and are oriented vertically. The compact structure includes, corresponding to the outer and inner faces of the wall, frames for the mounting of an exterior closure door and of an interior door.

A combination dock light, safety light, and bollard serves the purposes of all three, without having any sensitive structure projecting out from the bollard into the traffic lane at the loading dock. A trailer lamp assembly within the bollard projects out a window cutout at an upper end of the tubular metal body of the bollard. A red/green safety light is visible through an elongated cutout on the proximal side of the bollard. A photo eye turns the lamp on when the loading dock door is opened, and off when the dock door is closed, and also switches the safety light to green or to red depending on whether the dock door is opened or closed.
摘要:
This loading bay comprises a compact structure carrying at least one fold-away ramp and a shelter for closing off the space between the shed and the truck box body at the side and at the top during loading or unloading operations. Said compact structure adjoins the wall (P) of the shed on the outside and is set up with the possibility of being removed longitudinally on guide means for positioning the movable assembly in a position opposite any one of the openings (H) providing access to the shed. The loading bay comprises, additionally, motorized actuating means, at least one bar of sensors for detecting the position of the truck while said truck is being moved closer into position, a light-signalling device and a light and/or acoustic signal warning of the approach of a truck.

A repositionable loading dock pit seal panel comprising: (a) a repositionable pit seal panel including a substantially incompressible height and width sized to substantially span an entire vertical dimension and substantially span an entire widthwise dimension of a loading dock pit to substantially close off a cross-sectional area of the loading dock pit when the repositionable pit seal panel is in a barrier position, where the repositionable pit seal panel is repositionably mounted to at least one of an overhead door, a surface partially defining the loading dock pit, and a surface adjacent to the loading dock pit, where the repositionable pit seal panel is repositionable between the barrier position inhibiting horizontal use of a vertically stored dock leveler and a storage position allowing horizontal use of the vertically stored dock leveler, where the repositionable pit seal panel in the barrier position cooperates with the overhead door to close off a loading dock opening defined by a loading dock doorway and the cross-sectional area of the loading dock pit, and where the width of the repositionable pit seal panel is less than a width of a bottom section of the overhead door.
摘要:
A frame of a dock leveler that positions a deck portion of the dock leveler so that the deck portion is level with a surrounding dock floor at a driveway end when mounted in a pit in the dock floor includes a pit supported portion placed on a floor of the pit, a deck supporting portion providing support to the deck portion, and an adjusting assembly connected to the pit supported portion and to the deck supporting portion and operable to move and hold the deck supporting portion so that the deck portion of the dock leveler is at a selected position with respect to the surrounding dock floor.
摘要:
A height-adjustable docking buffer is described for protecting facades when vehicles are docked in building openings. The docking buffer is made up of a fixed mounting frame and a height-adjustable buffer block for a loading ramp or a transfer bridge. The buffer block is designed as an essentially horizontal bumper bar, and includes an inflatable gasket, the ends of which are height-adjustably supported on two spaced, fixed mounting frames, preferably in the form of pillars. A method for operating the docking bar is also disclosed.
