The short version
For chilled and frozen operations in Montrose (DD10), an inflatable dock shelter gives a tight seal around the trailer, helping hold temperature during loading and reducing condensation at the dock.

Options that matter on site
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
Jobs we can carry out
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- 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 Montrose 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Which dock shelter suits our Montrose 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 Montrose?
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 much does a dock shelter cost in Montrose?
Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Montrose, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
