The short version
Each dock shelter for a site in Strabane is matched to the vehicles that actually call, from small vans to double-deck trailers, so the curtains seal properly without being torn by taller vehicles.

Options for dock shelters and seals in Strabane
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- 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.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Strabane?
The employer or occupier, under PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 and the Workplace Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993. Planned servicing, daily checks and a procedure to stop trailers moving during loading are the practical basics HSENI will expect.
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.

Questions from businesses in Strabane
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Strabane?
Yes. Replacement curtains are made to fit the existing frame on most retractable shelters, which is much cheaper than a new shelter. We measure and record the frame on the first visit.
Can a dock shelter in Strabane 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 County Tyrone?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across County Tyrone, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
