Dock Shelters

Dock Shelters are available in rigid, retractable and inflatable options. They are designed to protect both people and goods from temperature fluctuations and weather conditions during the loading and unloading process. They also help with pest control sealing all gaps to prevent access from birds and insects. Dock shelters are available in various widths and heights as they are made to order to suit the customers individual requirements.

Retractable Dock Shelter:

The retractable model is the most popular since it is designed to minimise damage if your driver doesn't align properly onto the bay. If the vehicle touches the Dock Shelter frame, it will retract back on its cantilever arms. The shelter is particularly effective where the approach to the doorway is diificult and where a fixed frame dock shelter would suffer regular impact. Our retractable Dock Shelters are constructed using a unique aluminum profile that is light, strong, durable and extremely resistant to all weather conditions. The shelter curtains return to their original position immediately after use by means of a shock cord system.  The side and head curtains are made from an extremely durable two ply vinyl material which is 3mm thick. This allows the each curtain to be made from one piece of material with no stays or stitching required. Consequently there are no weak points that are susceptible to damage or undue wear and tear. Yellow parking guide markers can be added at no additional cost. Optional corner pads are also available should an increased seal be required.
The lightweight construction makes installation quick and easy and frames can be mounted on a variety of building types without the need for reinforcement. The design of the aluminum profile means the projection material can be quickly and easily slid into place during installation.

Inflatable Dock ShelteR:

These shelters have inflatable side and top airbags providing a virtually airtight contact with the vehicle body. Once the vehicle is docked safely, the dock shelter fan is switched on to inflate the side and head seals against the vehicle to provide the optimum level of insulation between the external environment and the inside of the building. The shelters create an optimum seal to block out weather, insects, dust and other pollutants. They are a highly cost effective investment.
Manufactured from high quality materials. They accommodate vehicles of various heights and widths at the touch of a button, with the side and head seals smoothly inflating and deflating to give an excellent protective surround.
