Options that matter on site
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- 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.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Coalville?
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
Most installations in Coalville can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Coalville
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Coalville?
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 repair dock shelters in Coalville?
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 Coalville 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.
