Options that matter on site
- 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.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
How the work is organised
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Warwickshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Warwickshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Can a dock shelter in Stratford-upon-Avon 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 repair dock shelters in Stratford-upon-Avon?
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.
