What Are Retractable Dock Shelters?

Retractable dock shelters provide flexible protection for various vehicle sizes during loading and unloading. Made from durable, PVC-coated fabric mounted on a retractable steel frame, they offer tear resistance and a robust seal when in use, and conveniently fold away when not needed. This design ensures versatility and weather protection, making them ideal for mixed fleets. At Rapid Industrial Doors, our retractable shelters are built to last.

Shelter From A Head Curtain

A head curtain on a retractable dock shelter provides extra protection by forming a tight seal across the top of the vehicle. This adjustable curtain is particularly useful for taller trucks, ensuring that no gaps remain, even with varying vehicle heights.

By preventing exposure to external elements like rain, dust, and wind, a head curtain enhances the overall efficiency of your loading bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some frequently asked questions about our retractable dock shelters.

What is the purpose of a dock shelter?

A dock shelter provides protection and energy efficiency during loading and unloading. It forms a barrier between the vehicle and the building, preventing exposure to external elements such as rain, wind, or dust. This helps maintain a controlled environment, protects goods, and ensures worker safety.

What is the most common dock design?

The most common dock design is the flush dock. In this design, the loading bay door is flush with the building wall, allowing trucks to back straight into the docking area. This design maximises efficiency by creating a tight seal, especially when paired with an inflatable dock shelter or a retractable dock shelter. Flush docks are commonly found in warehouses and distribution centres due to their flexibility and ease of use in loading and unloading operations.
