What we fit in Bearsden
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- 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.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- 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.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Bearsden, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Bearsden 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 Bearsden?
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 Bearsden 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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Bearsden?
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.
