Options for dock shelters and seals in Neath
- Replacement curtains. Worn or torn curtains renewed on the existing frame.
- Sized to your fleet. We size curtains to the vans, rigids and trailers that actually use your bay.
- Inflatable seals. Air bags inflate around the parked trailer for a tight seal.
- Guidance aids. Guide stripes, wheel guides and lights help drivers park centrally.
- Temperature control. Less heated or chilled air escapes around the trailer while the door is up.
Typical scopes of work
- Pricing shelters, levellers and sectional doors together for the refurbishment of an existing goods-in area.
- Fitting foam dock seals at a bay used only by a dedicated fleet of identical trailers.
- Installing inflatable dock shelters at a chilled goods-in to help hold temperature while trailers are unloaded.
Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Neath 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.
Planning the work around your site
For busy sites in West Glamorgan the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
