Dock shelters and seals for loading bays at warehouses, food sites and distribution centres in Llangefni. We size each shelter to your dock and fleet, then fit it to close the gap around the trailer.

Options that matter on site
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
- 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 Llangefni, 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.
How the work is organised
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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does dock shelter installation take in Llangefni?
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 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 Llangefni 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.
