Options that matter on site
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- 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.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Cannock 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.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Do you repair dock shelters in Cannock?
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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Cannock?
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 long does dock shelter installation take in Cannock?
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.
