Here's another one for loading:
"Ladestellen im DIT
13 Lkw-Boxen für Straddle Carrier,
44 Plätze für Kranbeladung"
http://www.dit-du.de/uploads/media/Bericht_Fernfahrer_Okt05_...

And for servicing:
"Es gibt 2 Hallen mit LKW-Boxen (incl. Montagegruben) und Deckenkräne ( Kranhöhe 5 m, Tragkraft 10 to)."

Good evening Somehow, I am a bit confused about their purpose. I think they're called like that in reference to "Pferdeboxen" and can be called "Fahrzeugboxen" too. Here's another link in connection with fire trucks:
"Die Kraftfahrzeughalle weist eine Nutzfläche für 12 Lkw-Boxen, eine Werkstatt, Schlauchtrockenraum und Zubehörräume von 1006 qm aus."
http://www.feuerwehr-pfungstadt.de/?option=com_content&view=...

Repairs seem to be done here a good distance away from the Boxen. I don't think they're worried about the elements, but couldn't they just be for parking a) because of theft (not uncommon) and b) so they don't take up space reserved for (un)loading?

But this seems to confirm what you just said, although it specifies the box by "Reparatur/Unterhalt-":
"Fünf Reparatur- und Unterhaltsboxen mit zugeschaltetem Lagerbereich ermöglichen einen rationellen Werkstattbetrieb."
http://www.hochbau.sg.ch/home/kantonale_hochbauten/polizeist...

I think "Box" just means (covered) parking space, but could be amended based on purpose.

Good find, Björn Garages can be used for parking up overnight, although I don't suppose that Hasenkamp are worried about the elements. These three Boxen must be for servicing and repairing their fleet. Truck service bays?
Björn Vrooman Mar 29, 2017:
@Edith and Phil See here:

The three garages (white and yellow) are the "LKW-Boxen." The same term is used by Mercedes-Benz:

LKW-Buchten wahrscheinlich.
Edith Kelly Mar 29, 2017:
Hast du ein Bild? Könnten Aufbauten, Ladeboxen oder auch u.U. LKW-Buchten sein.

truck loading bays

Find Hasenkamp on Google Maps (west of Cologne). Zoom in, then switch to Satellite View. The truck loading bays are visible to the south of the main building.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Edith Kelly : how can you be sure at all? We do not know what they are. The fact that I wrote "LKW-Buchten" does not mean that MY interpretation is correct. And the photo .....

agree phillee : Probably correct, due to proximity of 'Anlieferungszone"

agree Björn Vrooman : I think this matches up with the intended purpose. You could just say garage or similar if you don't want to go into detail. // Thank you.

Thanks, Björn. It is your research and comments above that qualify for the 'most helpful' criterion.
agree Ramey Rieger (X) : Boxen = stalls, then stretch it a bit and you get docks or bays.
