What we fit in Eltham
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Eltham?
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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
