Options for dock shelters and seals in Cwmbran
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Weather protection. Keeps wind, rain and cold out of the dock during loading.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.

Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Cwmbran the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Access, phasing and timing
For busy sites in Gwent 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.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
Can a dock shelter in Cwmbran 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.
How much does a dock shelter cost in Cwmbran?
Our guide prices are £2,195 to £5,495 ex VAT for a retractable dock shelter and £6,495 to £11,995 for an inflatable one, supplied and fitted. Once we have surveyed your bays in Cwmbran, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Cwmbran?
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.
