Quick answer
Wind and rain blowing through the loading bay at your Bromsgrove 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.

Options that matter on site
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Typical scopes of work
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Bromsgrove?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Sites in and around Bromsgrove 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.

Questions from businesses in Bromsgrove
How long does dock shelter installation take in Bromsgrove?
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 Bromsgrove?
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 you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Bromsgrove?
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.
