COVID-19 Update

Please rest assured that Merritts are following all Government guidelines to ensure we can work safely during this national lockdown which was announced by the Government on 4th January 2021. The safety of our staff and customers is of paramount importance and we are continuing to implement a number of measures in order to continue to safely carry out work throughout these difficult times.

These measures include:

All operatives to travel in separate vehicles where possible (if this is not possible, operatives will wear face masks when in the same vehicle)
Following the 2m social distancing guideline
Wearing of face masks where required
Washing hands/using hand sanitizer on a regular basis
Gloves to be worn at all times
Food to be eaten alone

For as long as it is safe to do so, we will continue to help our clients carry out heavy machine moving projects as we believe this will help manufacturers to resume production as quickly and efficiently as possible as soon as these restrictions are lifted.

If it is not possible to provide the safest working environment for all persons concerned, we will not carry out the work.

Merritts are Safe Contractor accredited, and as part of our comprehensive process, can provide advice on all your machinery moving requirements, as wells as offer free site visits within the UK.

If you are considering a heavy machinery removal, relocation or installation project, need to temporarily store new or redundant heavy machinery, or simply need space to carry out servicing and maintenance, please get in touch.

Coming soon – Merritts invest in electric pick and carry cabin cranes

As part of our commitment to provide our customers with the highest standard of service within the heavy machinery moving industry, we are delighted to announce that we have ordered two new electric pick and carry cabin cranes from JMG Cranes, based in Bergamo, Italy.

Hazards to consider when moving heavy machinery

In this article we are going to highlight some of the risks and hazards we will consider as part of our pre project site inspection. This process helps to ensure the project is completed safely and without incident. It also assists Merritts in providing an accurate quotation based on the equipment and resources needed for the project which means there are no surprise costs or unforeseen obstacles which may cause delays.

Merritts launch Modular Housing Transportation Service

The perception of modular housing is beginning to change and many now believe their wider use may be one of the solutions to the problems caused by building traditional homes from bricks and mortar. We won’t be focussing on the transport of small component parts or boxes, but if there are projects that require the lifting, transportation, installation or storage of entire modular units, then Merritts are ideally equipped.
