Options for dock shelters and seals in Newport (Gwent)
- 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.
- Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Newport (Gwent)?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Dock shelters and seals in Newport (Gwent): your questions
Which dock shelter suits our Newport (Gwent) 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.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Newport (Gwent)?
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.
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.
