What to specify
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Cambuslang, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Questions from businesses in Cambuslang
How long does dock shelter installation take in Cambuslang?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Cambuslang?
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 Lanarkshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Lanarkshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
