The short version
Each dock shelter for a site in Ketton is matched to the vehicles that actually call, from small vans to double-deck trailers, so the curtains seal properly without being torn by taller vehicles.

What we fit in Ketton
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Ketton the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in Rutland the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
