Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Cambridgeshire 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.
How the work is organised
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 Cambridgeshire: your questions
How much does a dock shelter cost in Cambridgeshire?
Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Cambridgeshire, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Which dock shelter suits our Cambridgeshire 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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Cambridgeshire?
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.
