Options that matter on site
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- 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.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
Jobs we can carry out
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Doncaster 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Doncaster 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.

Dock shelters and seals in Doncaster: your questions
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Doncaster?
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.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Doncaster?
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 Doncaster, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Doncaster?
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.
