Options for dock shelters and seals in Dyfed
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Dyfed?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Wales 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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Wales?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Wales, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
