At a glance
Wind and rain blowing through the loading bay at your Wiltshire 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.

What we fit in Wiltshire
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Loading bay safety in England
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Wiltshire 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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dock shelter in Wiltshire 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.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around the South West?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across the South West, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Do you repair dock shelters in Wiltshire?
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.
