Options for dock shelters and seals in Berkhamsted
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Berkhamsted?
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
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
Can a dock shelter in Berkhamsted be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Berkhamsted?
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 Berkhamsted, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Hertfordshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Hertfordshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
