The short version
Wind and rain blowing through the loading bay at your Brecon site every time a trailer backs on? A retractable or inflatable dock shelter seals the opening around the vehicle and keeps the weather outside where it belongs.

What to specify
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Weather protection. Goods and staff stay out of the weather while the trailer is being worked.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing worn dock bumpers before fitting new shelters so trailers stop at the correct distance from the wall.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Brecon 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.
How the work is organised
Sites in and around Brecon vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Your questions about dock shelters and seals
How much does a dock shelter cost in Brecon?
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 Brecon, at no charge, the fixed price follows in writing.
Which dock shelter suits our Brecon 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.
Do you fit dock shelters for cold stores around Powys?
Yes. We fit inflatable and retractable shelters at cold stores and chilled sites across Powys, often alongside insulated doors and levellers, to help hold temperature and limit condensation at the dock while trailers are worked.
