What to specify
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.

- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in St Neots 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in St Neots
Which dock shelter suits our St Neots 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 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 St Neots?
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.
