Options for dock shelters and seals in Inverurie
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Inverurie the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
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.
Do you repair dock shelters in Inverurie?
Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.
Which dock shelter suits our Inverurie warehouse?
Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.
