Options for dock shelters and seals in New Malden

Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.

Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
