Options for dock shelters and seals in Ross-on-Wye
- Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
- Replacement curtains. Damaged curtains can be swapped without replacing the whole shelter.
- Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Adding rain gutters and guide lights to dock shelters so water stays out of trailers during loading.
- 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 Ross-on-Wye?
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
Most installations in Ross-on-Wye can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Ross-on-Wye
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Herefordshire?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Herefordshire, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
Can you replace the curtains on our dock shelters in Ross-on-Wye?
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.
Which dock shelter suits our Ross-on-Wye 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.
