What to specify
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
What this work can involve
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Willenhall, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
For busy sites in the West Midlands 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.
