What we fit in Selby
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Selby?
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
Sites in and around Selby 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.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Selby?
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.
Can a dock shelter in Selby be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Selby?
Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Selby, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
