Dock shelters and seals in Windsor

The short version

Wind and rain blowing through the loading bay at your Windsor site every time a trailer backs on? A retractable or inflatable dock shelter seals the opening around the vehicle and keeps the weather outside where it belongs.

Town: Windsor
Postcode district: SL4
Area: Berkshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What we fit in Windsor

Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.

What this work can involve

Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Dock shelters and seals in Windsor: your questions

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.

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

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.

Do you repair dock shelters in Windsor?

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.
