Options for dock shelters and seals in Carmarthen
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
Jobs we can carry out
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Carmarthen?
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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
