Options that matter on site
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in Scotland
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Easterhouse 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.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Easterhouse 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 Easterhouse?
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.
Do you repair dock shelters in Easterhouse?
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 Easterhouse 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.
