In short
Each dock shelter for a site in Twickenham is matched to the vehicles that actually call, from small vans to double-deck trailers, so the curtains seal properly without being torn by taller vehicles.

What we fit in Twickenham
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Twickenham, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Twickenham 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.
