The Crawford 680 loadhouse is an independent loading system, containing all the relevant components: leveller, shelter and door. Together with the Autodock bottom platform and an insulated or non-insulated cladding house, a complete, stand-alone dock loading system is formed. Placed outside the door opening of a warehouse or terminal, the operator will gain inside space advantages compared to a conventional, inside docking installation in new as well as in existing buildings – without any major building modifications. Due to the thermal separation between building and docking unit, the Crawford 680 loadhouse can be used in temperature controlled applications. The Crawford 680 loadhouse therefore meets most operator demands.

The load house makes it possible to move the actual loading and unloading area outside the building and thereby releasing the corresponding floor area inside.

The Crawford 680 Loadhouse also forms a protective barrier between building and vehicle, contributing to energy savings and an improved working environment. Dock levellers and shelters can be integrated with the load house, together forming a complete Autodock® system.

As there is no need for complicated concrete pit construction the total cost of the building is reduced.
