Dock shelters and seals in Enfield

In short

Each dock shelter for a site in Enfield is matched to the vehicles that actually call, from small vans to double-deck trailers, so the curtains seal properly without being torn by taller vehicles.

Options for dock shelters and seals in Enfield

Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.

What this work can involve

Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Enfield?

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

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.

Dock shelters and seals in Enfield: your questions

Do you repair dock shelters in Enfield?

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.

Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Greater London?

Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Greater London, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.

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

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.
