Postcode district: WF12
Area: West Yorkshire

Options that matter on site

Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.

Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dewsbury?

The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Dewsbury

How long does dock shelter installation take in Dewsbury?

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.

Do you repair dock shelters in Dewsbury?

Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.

Can a dock shelter in Dewsbury 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.
