What we fit in Godalming
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- 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 Godalming 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
