What we fit in Redditch
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- 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 Redditch?
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 Redditch 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 Redditch
How long does dock shelter installation take in Redditch?
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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Redditch?
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 repair dock shelters in Redditch?
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.
