What to specify
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Walton-on-Thames?
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
For busy sites in Surrey the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Walton-on-Thames
Which dock shelter suits our Walton-on-Thames 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.
Do you repair dock shelters in Walton-on-Thames?
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.
