Patent attributes
This loading bay includes a hinged ramp to form a passage between the warehouse and the container of the truck. The loading bay has a lateral and upper shelter, and a hinged platform that is located at a level below the hinged ramp. The loading bay includes movable frontal stops, assembled on the front end of the platform and that define contact surfaces for the trailer or container of the truck when it is approaching the loading bay. In addition, a position detector is provided for detecting the position of the frontal stops and activates an luminous signal device to issue different luminous messages depending on the movement of the frontal stops. In addition, the loading bay has a device for longitudinally moving the frontal stops away from the container of the truck once it is stationary in the loading bay.
