Dock shelters and seals in Yeadon

The short version

Wind and rain blowing through the loading bay at your Yeadon site every time a trailer backs on? A retractable or inflatable dock shelter seals the opening around the vehicle and keeps the weather outside where it belongs.

Town: Yeadon
Postcode district: LS19
Area: West Yorkshire

What to specify

Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.

Jobs we can carry out

Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.

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

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

Sites in and around Yeadon vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions

How long does dock shelter installation take in Yeadon?

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 fit dock shelters for cold stores around West Yorkshire?

Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across West Yorkshire, 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 Yeadon 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.
