What to specify

Sized to your fleet. Curtain sizes matched to vehicle widths, heights and dock height.
Foam seals. Foam pads that the trailer squeezes into, ideal where every vehicle is much the same.
Retractable frames. Spring-loaded scissor arms fold back on impact and return afterwards.
Temperature control. Helps hold heat or cold inside the building with dock doors open.
Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.

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.
Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.

What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Ystradgynlais, 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Ystradgynlais

How long does dock shelter installation take in Ystradgynlais?

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.

Can a dock shelter in Ystradgynlais 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.

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.
