Options for dock shelters and seals in Bushey

Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.

Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.

Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bushey 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.

How the work is organised

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Questions from businesses in Bushey

Can a dock shelter in Bushey 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.

Do you repair dock shelters in Bushey?

Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.

Which dock shelter suits our Bushey 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.
