Options that matter on site
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Stourport-on-Severn, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions
Which dock shelter suits our Stourport-on-Severn warehouse?
Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Stourport-on-Severn?
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 Stourport-on-Severn?
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.
