The loading
dock has the greatest potential for energy loss and
product damage. Openings in the loading dock leak cold air and allow entry of
foreign contaminants such as dust, water, and pests. There are gaps between the
trailer and the edges of the dock opening. There is a greater financial loss
when the loading dock has multiple dock doors.
Here are the top ways to save energy on loading dock areas:
Use good dock seals and shelters. Loading docks have dock seals
or dock shelters that bridge the gap between the truck trailer and the dock.
The dock seals or shelters are loading dock
equipment Sterling VA often are exposed to pressure and
compression when trucks back up to the wall.
The role of dock seals and shelters include containing
conditioned air within the dock areas. Infiltration happens when dock doors are
damaged or there are incompatible or shelter or seals that are not fitted
well.
Fabric-covered foam pads on dock seals compress when the trailer
back into them. These permit the tight sealing of the sides of the trailer and
close the gaps between the door hinges of the trailer.
Utilize energy-saving lighting. Lighting must be considered when
it comes to energy savings. These energy-saving
products Sterling VA such as led lights or led dock light are
important for the safety on the dock and inside the truck trailer to avoid
product damage and injury. The use of LED bulbs instead of incandescent lights
can save energy by approximately 69 percent. Changing 100 incandescent lights
with LEDs can produce a savings of $60,000, according to Fabricators and
Manufacturers Association, International.
