A dock door is required for inside/outside loading docks. The most commonly installed doors are manually operated and are either an overhead sectional door or a roller door.
See pictures of roller doors and sectional doors by reading more below↓
Roller Doors
A sectional door is smoother and quieter than a roller door because of rollers that run inside of tracks. Other advantages of a sectional door are:
• They are thicker and stronger than a roller door
• They can be insulated
Sectional Doors
NOTE: Install door track protectors to protect the door tracks.
Common dock door dimensions are 8’0” in width with 8 ft, 9 ft or 10 ft heights. Consider extending the door 13 ft to 14 ft above the driveway and a minimum of 8’6” wide if full access to the truck’s interior isrequired. Dock doors dimensions are determined by:
• Type of trucks being serviced
• Sealing system
•Environmental concerns
