Dock shelters and seals for loading bays at warehouses, food sites and distribution centres in Horley. We size each shelter to your dock and fleet, then fit it to close the gap around the trailer.

Town: Horley
Postcode district: RH6
Area: Surrey

What to specify

Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
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.
Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.

What this work can involve

Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Horley?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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 Horley?

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.

Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Surrey?

Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Surrey, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.

Which dock shelter suits our Horley warehouse?

Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.
