Options for dock shelters and seals in March
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- 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.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including March, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Do you repair dock shelters in March?
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 March?
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.
