The short version
For chilled and frozen operations in Sandhurst (GU47), 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
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
Typical scopes of work
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Sandhurst, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Sandhurst can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Berkshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Berkshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Do you repair dock shelters in Sandhurst?
Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.
Can a dock shelter in Sandhurst 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.
