What to specify
- 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.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
What this work can involve
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
