Dock shelters and seals in Connah's Quay

In short

Wind and rain blowing through the loading bay at your Connah's Quay site every time a trailer backs on? A retractable or inflatable dock shelter seals the opening around the vehicle and keeps the weather outside where it belongs.

Options for dock shelters and seals in Connah's Quay

Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.

Jobs we can carry out

Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.

Loading bay safety in Wales

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Connah's Quay the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Clwyd the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
