What to specify
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Bridgnorth 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.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Can a dock shelter in Bridgnorth 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 long does dock shelter installation take in Bridgnorth?
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.
Do you repair dock shelters in Bridgnorth?
Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.
