Case Study

Machines are typically collected from the client's designated stores by Merritts and are then held overnight at our warehouse facilities before onward transit to customer premises. A suitable vehicle is chosen to suit the model of machine, available options include: rigid and articulated crane lorries, low loaders and euro liners. Alternatively machines may be delivered direct from the client's manufacturing plants in Germany by a European haulier. Specialist lifting tackle and gantries are collected simultaneously from their UK premises by one of our transit pick ups or crane lorries.

Machines are off loaded and lifted from timber bases. These are later disposed of by Merritts at an approved recycling centre on the company’s behalf. A variety of lifting methods may be employed ranging from lorry mounted cranes, to lift trucks or specialist Versa lifts.

Merritts personnel then work alongside the client’s installation engineers to dock and position the machines ready for final commission.
