The short version

Options that matter on site
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Fraserburgh?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dock shelter in Fraserburgh be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Fraserburgh?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
