The short version
Dock shelters and seals for loading bays at warehouses, food sites and distribution centres in Fareham. We size each shelter to your dock and fleet, then fit it to close the gap around the trailer.

Options that matter on site
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Fareham 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in Hampshire 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.

Frequently asked questions
Which dock shelter suits our Fareham 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 Hampshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Hampshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Fareham?
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.
