Options for dock shelters and seals in Kirkintilloch
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- 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 Kirkintilloch?
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
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.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a dock shelter cost in Kirkintilloch?
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 Kirkintilloch, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Can a dock shelter in Kirkintilloch 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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Kirkintilloch?
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.
