Options for dock shelters and seals in Kingswood
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Kingswood?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Gloucestershire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
