Out of Hours Solutions for Heavy Machinery Moving Projects

Essential to this is the continuous review of production efficiency which may lead to the relocation, refurbishment, or removal and replacement of machinery for more technologically advanced equipment. Another outcome might be a complete re-organisation of the production facility in order to maximise output.

Machinery out of action means lost production, so it is beneficial to the customer that improvement works take place when machinery is not in operation, therefore ensuring production output is minimally affected.

Merritts regularly operate out of standard working hours and can also accommodate night and shift working as well as weekends for moves that are time and/or production sensitive. We offer free site visits within the UK and are available 365 days of the year.

We work for many leading manufacturers, in a multitude of industries including; automotive, aerospace, print, plastics & rubber, food & drink, waste & recycling, textiles and metalwork, providing bespoke solutions tailor-made to the customer’s specific requirements.

Services can include the movement of a single machine to the installation of entire production lines. Internal machinery relocations are regularly carried out to assist customers requiring a production change as well as the transportation and installation of brand new machinery for original machinery manufacturers.

Merritts are SafeContractor accredited and we are continually striving to provide the safest possible working conditions: Our health & safety team conduct preliminary and ongoing site audits to reduce risk and maintain safe working practices. Risk assessments, method statements and lift plans are produced for every project and all plant, lifting equipment and machinery moving tackle is tested at regular intervals, meeting both LOLER and PUWER standards.

Please get in touch if you have a heavy machinery moving project where out of hours working is a major requirement, as we will be able to provide you with an efficient and cost effective solution.
