Dock shelters and seals in Dundee

At a glance

What we fit in Dundee

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. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dundee?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Dundee

Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Angus and Dundee?

Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Angus and Dundee, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.

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

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.

How long does dock shelter installation take in Dundee?

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.
