Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
What this work can involve
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Fulham?
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you repair dock shelters in Fulham?
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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Fulham?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Fulham 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.
