The short version
For chilled and frozen operations in Maryhill (G20), an inflatable dock shelter gives a tight seal around the trailer, helping hold temperature during loading and reducing condensation at the dock.

Options that matter on site
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Maryhill?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
