In short
Dock shelters and seals for loading bays at warehouses, food sites and distribution centres in Aylesbury. We size each shelter to your dock and fleet, then fit it to close the gap around the trailer.

What to specify
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Aylesbury?
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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Aylesbury
Which dock shelter suits our Aylesbury 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.
Do you repair dock shelters in Aylesbury?
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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Aylesbury?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
