Specialist Tackle

Each Merritts vehicle has a bespoke lifting and ground moving tackle specification including skates and jacks rated up to 80Te.

Specialist lifting equipment to deal with any machine moving scenario

Vehicles carry specialist gantries designed to lift equipment up to 15Te in weight in confined spaces as part of the standard tackle set. All specialist tackle is tested at regular intervals.

Each senior foreman is in control of this tackle and keeps up to date checklists for conformity with lifting regulations.
