Options for dock shelters and seals in Burgess Hill
- 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.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- 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 Burgess Hill, 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.
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.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Burgess Hill?
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.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around West Sussex?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across West Sussex, 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 Burgess Hill 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.
