Options for dock shelters and seals in Brighton
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Brighton 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Brighton 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.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Do you repair dock shelters in Brighton?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Brighton 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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Brighton?
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.
