Options that matter on site
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
What this work can involve
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Grimsby?
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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Lincolnshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Lincolnshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Which dock shelter suits our Grimsby 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 Grimsby?
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.
