Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Dock shelters and seals in Reigate: your questions

How long does dock shelter installation take in Reigate?

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 Reigate 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.

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.
