What we fit in Welshpool
- Guidance aids. Driver aids help trailers line up straight, which protects the shelter and improves the seal.
- Retractable frames. If a trailer reverses too far, the frame gives way and springs back instead of bending.
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Foam seals. Compressible pads for a tight seal where vehicles are a uniform size.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
Typical scopes of work
- Specifying deeper top curtains for bays that receive double-deck trailers alongside standard trailers.
- Replacing torn side and top curtains on existing retractable shelter frames instead of buying new shelters.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Welshpool, 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
Sites in and around Welshpool 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.

Dock shelters and seals in Welshpool: your questions
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.
Can a dock shelter in Welshpool 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.
How long does dock shelter installation take in Welshpool?
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.
