Options that matter on site
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Huntingdon, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
Most installations in Huntingdon 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.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Cambridgeshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Cambridgeshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Huntingdon?
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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Huntingdon?
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.
