Options for dock shelters and seals in Amersham
- 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.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Amersham 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
Most installations in Amersham 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.

Questions from businesses in Amersham
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Buckinghamshire, 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 Amersham?
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.
