Options for dock shelters and seals in Renfrew
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Renfrew, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Renfrew 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.
