Truck and Lorry Shelters

Safeguard your commercial vehicle investment with Kit Buildings professional Lorry Shelters, specifically engineered to provide comprehensive protection for heavy commercial vehicles, HGVs, and specialized transport equipment. These industrial-strength shelters combine advanced materials technology with proven structural engineering to deliver unmatched fleet protection solutions for logistics companies, construction firms, and commercial operators.

Advanced Galvanized Steel Construction Every lorry shelter features a precision-engineered framework constructed from premium-grade galvanized steel components. The advanced hot-dip galvanization process creates a metallurgical bond that provides exceptional corrosion resistance, ensuring structural integrity even in the most challenging industrial environments. This professional-grade framework withstands heavy wind loads, snow accumulation, and seismic forces while maintaining dimensional stability throughout decades of service.

High-Performance Weather Protection System The shelter's protective covering utilizes heavy-duty 610g (22oz) PVC fabric engineered specifically for commercial vehicle protection applications. This industrial-grade material provides superior resistance to UV radiation, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress while maintaining flexibility across extreme temperature ranges. The fabric's advanced weave structure ensures excellent tear resistance and puncture protection, crucial for high-traffic commercial environments.

Lorry-Specific Design Features These shelters incorporate design elements specifically tailored for commercial vehicle protection, including optimized height clearances for standard and high-cube lorries, reinforced corner structures to withstand vehicle impact, and strategic drainage systems to prevent water accumulation. The framework geometry accommodates various lorry configurations including articulated vehicles, rigid trucks, and specialized transport equipment.

Customizable Fleet Solutions Kit Buildings offers comprehensive customization options to match specific fleet requirements. Available configurations include single-lorry shelters, multi-bay depot coverage, drive-through designs for operational efficiency, and specialized height configurations for oversized vehicles. Optional features include enclosed side panels, personnel access doors, lighting integration, and ventilation systems for comprehensive vehicle protection.

Industrial Applications These lorry shelters excel across diverse commercial sectors including logistics and distribution centers, construction equipment storage, specialized transport operations, emergency vehicle housing, and commercial vehicle dealerships. The robust construction and professional appearance make them suitable for customer-facing locations while providing the durability required for industrial applications.

Operational Efficiency Benefits Protected lorries require significantly less pre-operation preparation time, reducing driver delays and improving fleet utilization. The shelters enable year-round access to vehicles regardless of weather conditions, supporting consistent operational schedules and improved customer service delivery. Additionally, protected vehicles maintain better resale values and require fewer weather-related repairs.

We supply comprehensive written installation instructions with every order, complemented by detailed video guides when available. Our expert team is always on hand to provide guidance and answer any questions you may have throughout the installation process.

We provide detailed design drawings for every project. Our engineers carefully craft each plan to meet your exact requirements, with efficiency and structural integrity at the forefront of our design process.

Obviously, the size of the storage shelter you require will depend on the size and number of vehicles you need to protect. That is why we produce lorry and coach storage shelters in 5 generous standard sizes. You can choose from either 33 x 18 x 20ft, 43 x 18 x 20ft, 50 x 18 x 20ft, 60 x 18 x 20ft or 65 x 18 x 20ft. However, don’t worry if these sizes don’t match your requirements, as you can order customised coach and lorry shelters, upon request, when you order.
