What we fit in Goole
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
What this work can involve
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Goole?
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
Most installations in Goole can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Goole?
Yes. Replacement curtains are made to fit the existing frame on most retractable shelters, which is much cheaper than a new shelter. We measure and record the frame on the first visit.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Goole?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Goole 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.
