We think and act green

As a family business, we are very conscious of our responsibility to future generations and offer all industrial doors, operators, loading technology, construction project doors and perimeter protection systems for construction projects CO₂-neutral upon request. The Hörmann climate protection strategy aims to reduce and avoid CO₂ emissions. We cover 100% of our electrical power needs at all European production locations with purchased green electricity. 
We also apply many other measures to reduce our consumption and save more than 75000 tonnes of CO₂ each year. We work with ClimatePartner to offset the emissions that we do generate by supporting certified climate protection projects.

Robust dock levellers

Sustainability and quality go hand in hand. Dock levellers have to withstand the rough day-to-day loading environment. For this reason, all components are manufactured using high-quality materials.
The design of all dock levellers corresponds to EN 1398 and, with regard to loading capacity, is dimensioned generously.

Particularly sturdy flat anchors, ventilation slots in the edge bracket and screwable adjustment angles ensure reliable fixing in the building structure, one of the most important prerequisites for a long service life.

Energy-efficient loading houses

With a loading house, the dock leveller is mounted right in front of the hall. This means that the hall opening can be closed off energy-efficiently with an industrial door.
As early as the quotation phase, we are able to provide static calculations defining the maximum wind and snow loads for Hörmann loading houses.

Any unevenness in the floor can easily be compensated for using adjustable feet.

Flexible dock seals and shelters

Dock seals and shelters are particularly efficient when they are optimally adapted to the docking vehicles and the loading situation. This requires a wide range of flexible solutions.
Robust push-in flap dock shelters with different frame constructions prevent damage during docking.
Inflatable dock seals adjust to different vehicle dimensions.

Roll-up flaps compensate for larger height differences between vehicles.
Dock seals and shelters with telescopic link arms or rising roof constructions are recommended to compensate for vehicle movements or when setting down swap containers.

Compatible control systems

From development to production, all Hörmann door and dock leveller controls come from the same source, making them optimally matched to each other. As a result, you benefit from a uniform operating concept with standardised housing sizes and the same cable sets for dock levellers and operator controls.

Another advantage: If the dock leveller control is placed beneath the operator control, both controls can be combined into a single compact unit.

Smart initial start-up, smart operation

The Hörmann BlueControl app enables the commissioning, service and maintenance of Hörmann industrial doors and dock levellers with the series 500 controls. It connects to the control on site via Bluetooth and displays its settings clearly in plain text the service technician. Status, error and diagnostic data of the system are read out together with the corresponding time stamps and can be viewed at a glance on the mobile device. For new installations, templates with all parameters can be created for individual doors and copied to identical systems – for quick and easy initial start-up.  

The Hörmann NetControl gateway can be used to intelligently network several series 500 industrial door and dock leveller controls and integrate them into local networks. NetControl provides digital access to all relevant data, such as the status of the doors and dock levellers, error messages, cycles, opening times and maintenance instructions. This enables service calls to be planned in advance, reduces downtimes and optimises operating processes.
