A logistics warehouse stands or falls with its gates and docks. If a gate fails, It's not simply "an opening" that's sealed – often the entire layer behind it is affected. Traffic jams in front of the dock, annoyed drivers, overtime in the warehouse, and in the worst case scenario... Penalties are imposed because delivery times are not met.

In addition, there are energy losses due to leaky gate areas, safety risks due to Defective technology and close scrutiny from inspectors and insurers. In short: Gates and loading bridges are not a minor matter, but critical infrastructure.

At Tormeister24 we combine two worlds: an online shop with clear spare parts. and sealing – and a specialist company behind you that works in real halls every day. That's precisely why you won't find any feel-good text here, but pure practical experience:

• How to evaluate the right gate and loading technology for your warehouse.
• Which components are truly critical (rollers, hinges, safety).
• How to reduce costs with targeted replacement parts instead of just "patching" things up.
• When you won't get far without a specialist company – and why that's a good thing.

3.1 Operational problems in everyday life

• Goals glide unevenly, run crookedly, or hit the ground.
• The casters squeak or are blocked in certain spots.
• Loading bridges move jerkily or get stuck.
• The gate doesn't close flush – gaps, drafts, moisture.

These are not "luxury problems", but direct risks to safety and productivity. and energy consumption.

3.2 Economic consequences

• Production and handling delays due to blocked gates.
• Increased energy consumption due to leaks and open doors.
• Increased wear and tear because small parts are never replaced in time.
• Problems during inspections, in the worst case the shutdown of gates.

The key is clear: those who have their gates and docks under structured control save money every year. Cash – and trouble with insurers, employers' liability insurance associations and customers.
