In short
Wind and rain blowing through the loading bay at your Feltham site every time a trailer backs on? A retractable or inflatable dock shelter seals the opening around the vehicle and keeps the weather outside where it belongs.

Options that matter on site
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Feltham 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Which dock shelter suits our Feltham 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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Feltham?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
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.
