Options for dock shelters and seals in Stafford
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Stafford?
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.
How the work is organised
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
