What we fit in Chepstow
- Inflatable seals. Once the vehicle is in place, inflated bags press against its sides and roof.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Chepstow?
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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Chepstow vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
How long does dock shelter installation take in Chepstow?
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.
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Chepstow 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.
