What to specify
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- 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.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- 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 Newry?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
