Options for dock shelters and seals in Burnley
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Burnley 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Burnley vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
