What we fit in Abergavenny
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- 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
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Abergavenny, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Dock shelters and seals in Abergavenny: your questions
Can a dock shelter in Abergavenny be fitted with our existing leveller?
Usually, yes. The shelter fits around the dock door and works with most existing levellers, provided the bumpers stop the trailer at the right distance from the wall. We check the bumpers and leveller lip on survey.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Gwent?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Gwent, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Abergavenny?
Yes. Replacement curtains are made to fit the existing frame on most retractable shelters, which is much cheaper than a new shelter. We measure and record the frame on the first visit.
