Dock shelters and seals in Kilburn

The short version

Dock shelters and seals for loading bays at warehouses, food sites and distribution centres in Kilburn. We size each shelter to your dock and fleet, then fit it to close the gap around the trailer.

Town: Kilburn
Postcode district: NW6
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
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.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Kilburn 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Kilburn can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Dock shelters and seals in Kilburn: your questions

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

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.

How long does dock shelter installation take in Kilburn?

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.
