In short
Each dock shelter for a site in Flint is matched to the vehicles that actually call, from small vans to double-deck trailers, so the curtains seal properly without being torn by taller vehicles.

What to specify
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
What this work can involve
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Flint?
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.
How the work is organised
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

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.
