Options that matter on site
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- 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 Fleet 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Fleet vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
