Options for dock shelters and seals in Leominster
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
What this work can involve
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard 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 Leominster 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
Most installations in Leominster 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.
