Dock shelters and seals in Warwick

The short version

For chilled and frozen operations in Warwick (CV34), an inflatable dock shelter gives a tight seal around the trailer, helping hold temperature during loading and reducing condensation at the dock.

Town: Warwick
Postcode district: CV34
Area: Warwickshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
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.

What this work can involve

Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
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.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Warwick, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Warwick vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Warwick

Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Warwick?

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.

Which dock shelter suits our Warwick 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.

Can a dock shelter in Warwick 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.
