What to specify
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bebington?
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
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Bebington?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Bebington 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.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Merseyside?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Merseyside, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
