What we fit in Westminster
- 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.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
Jobs we can carry out
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Westminster 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 Westminster 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dock shelter in Westminster be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Westminster?
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.
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.
