What we fit in Shepherd's Bush
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Jobs we can carry out
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Shepherd's Bush 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
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.
