Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping | | German term or phrase: Rampenvorbau | | Bequeme, trockene, witterungsunabhängige Be- und Entladungsmöglichkeit durch beheizten Rampenvorbau. |
| | | (heated) enclosed ramp | Explanation:
Since it is heated for the comfort of the drivers and warehouse staff, I think this might fill the bill. It is (I guess) an enclosed hall, obviously attached to the warehouse itself, which accommodates road vehicles while they are unloading and being loaded at the "(un)loading ramp (or ramps)". |

I don't recall that term from the UK but only from eastern US seaboard. Perhaps I'm wrong and it is European. Regards.

Sorry, tried to find a genuine GB usage but failed. Seems the term as a whole is used only stateside. "loading dock" on its own scores well on both sides on the pond. Best, and have a nice weekend.
