What we fit in Wolverhampton
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wolverhampton the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Access, phasing and timing
Most installations in Wolverhampton can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Wolverhampton?
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 Wolverhampton 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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Wolverhampton?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
