What we fit in Blyth
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- 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 Blyth?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Blyth 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Blyth?
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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Blyth?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
Do you repair dock shelters in Blyth?
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.
