Options that matter on site
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Typical scopes of work
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Farnham 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Do you repair dock shelters in Farnham?
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 a dock shelter in Farnham 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 Farnham?
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.
