In short
Each dock shelter for a site in Bath 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.

Options for dock shelters and seals in Bath
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bath?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Bath vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Bath?
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.
Do you repair dock shelters in Bath?
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.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Somerset?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Somerset, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
