Options for dock shelters and seals in Bangor (Gwynedd)
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Fitting retractable dock shelters across a run of bays that serve a mixed fleet of vans and trailers.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Bangor (Gwynedd), 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
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Dock shelters and seals in Bangor (Gwynedd): your questions
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Gwynedd?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Gwynedd, 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 Bangor (Gwynedd) 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 a dock shelter in Bangor (Gwynedd) 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.
