What to specify
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.

- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
