Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.

Typical scopes of work

Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.

Loading bay safety in Scotland

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Stonehaven 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals

Can a dock shelter in Stonehaven 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.

Which dock shelter suits our Stonehaven 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.

Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Stonehaven?

Yes. Replacement curtains are made to fit the existing frame on most retractable shelters, which is much cheaper than a new shelter. We measure and record the frame on the first visit.
