Options that matter on site
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- 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 Mansfield?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

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