What to specify
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- 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.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Redhill, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
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.

Dock shelters and seals in Redhill: your questions
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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Redhill?
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.
Can a dock shelter in Redhill 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.
