What to specify
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bletchley?
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
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.

Dock shelters and seals in Bletchley: your questions
How long does dock shelter installation take in Bletchley?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Bletchley 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 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.
