The short version
Dock shelters and seals for loading bays at warehouses, food sites and distribution centres in Llanelli. We size each shelter to your dock and fleet, then fit it to close the gap around the trailer.

Options for dock shelters and seals in Llanelli
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
Jobs we can carry out
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Llanelli, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Llanelli can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Which dock shelter suits our Llanelli warehouse?
Retractable shelters suit most mixed fleets. Inflatable shelters give a tighter seal for chilled, frozen or sensitive goods. Foam seals suit uniform fleets. We recommend one after recording your vehicles and dock on survey.
Do you repair dock shelters in Llanelli?
Yes. We straighten or replace bent frames and arms, replace curtains, repair inflatable shelter blowers and bags, and renew bumpers. Repair visits are chargeable, and we quote before ordering any made-to-measure parts.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Llanelli?
Typically half a day to a day per shelter, depending on size and fixings. We schedule work bay by bay so loading can continue at the others while each shelter is fitted.
