What to specify
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Ledbury?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Planning the work around your site
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

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