Options for dock shelters and seals in Maidenhead
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Maidenhead 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
For busy sites in Berkshire 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.

Questions from businesses in Maidenhead
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Maidenhead?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Maidenhead 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.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Maidenhead?
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 Maidenhead, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
