What we fit in Irvinestown
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.

Questions from businesses in Irvinestown
Can a dock shelter in Irvinestown be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
Which dock shelter suits our Irvinestown 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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Irvinestown?
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.
