Options for dock shelters and seals in Hampton
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Hampton, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Planning the work around your site
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.
