Dock shelters and seals in Bedworth

In short

Each dock shelter for a site in Bedworth 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.

Town: Bedworth
Postcode district: CV12
Area: Warwickshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.

Examples of work we can quote for

Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Bedworth, 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.

How the work is organised

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
