Options that matter on site
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Wisbech?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Wisbech vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

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 Wisbech?
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.
Can a dock shelter in Wisbech be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
