Dock shelters and seals in Rosyth

The short version

For chilled and frozen operations in Rosyth (KY11), an inflatable dock shelter gives a tight seal around the trailer, helping hold temperature during loading and reducing condensation at the dock.

Town: Rosyth
Postcode district: KY11
Area: Fife
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

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.
Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.

What this work can involve

Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Rosyth, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Rosyth vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Dock shelters and seals in Rosyth: your questions

Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Rosyth?

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 much does a dock shelter cost in Rosyth?

Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Rosyth, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.

Which dock shelter suits our Rosyth 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.
