What to specify
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
What this work can involve
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Bognor Regis, 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
Most installations in Bognor Regis 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.

Dock shelters and seals in Bognor Regis: your questions
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Bognor Regis?
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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Bognor Regis?
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.

Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Bognor Regis, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
