What to specify

Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
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 Hyde 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a dock shelter cost in Hyde?

Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Hyde, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.

Which dock shelter suits our Hyde warehouse?

Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.

Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Greater Manchester?

Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Greater Manchester, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
