What to specify
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- 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.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Hoddesdon 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Dock shelters and seals in Hoddesdon: your questions
Which dock shelter suits our Hoddesdon 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 Hoddesdon?
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.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Hoddesdon?
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 Hoddesdon, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
