Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Typical scopes of work
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wrexham 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.
Planning the work around your site
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.
