Options for dock shelters and seals in Peckham
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- 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.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
What this work can involve
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Peckham?
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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
