Dock shelters and seals for loading bays at warehouses, food sites and distribution centres in West Bridgford. We size each shelter to your dock and fleet, then fit it to close the gap around the trailer.

What to specify
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
What this work can involve
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard 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 West Bridgford?
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.

Dock shelters and seals in West Bridgford: your questions
Can a dock shelter in West Bridgford 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 West Bridgford?
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 West Bridgford, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Which dock shelter suits our West Bridgford 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.
