Merritts extensive knowledge of moving and handling heavy machinery used within pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities has enabled us to work with some of the biggest names in the industry.
It is well documented that the whole of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry has been working on overdrive in recent months in response to the rising threat of Coronavirus.
Due to this increase in demand, Merritts have received numerous enquiries from healthcare and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities looking to install or remove single machines or help carry out full production line changes to help improve efficiency and production capacity.
It is our specialist knowledge of working within controlled environments and understanding of hygiene protocols that we are trusted by some of the industry’s leading brands to move and install or in some cases store their machinery in our 80,000 ft² internal warehouse space.
As part of any heavy machinery moving project, our health & safety team conducts a preliminary site audit to understand the necessary requirements. This help us to implement the correct safety measures as well as highlight areas of hygiene sensitivity. Our proposal also incorporates risk assessments, method statement and lift plans for every step of the project.
We also make sure that all employees working on the project arrive professionally dressed in our company uniform and are equipped the appropriate PPE.
Our heavy machinery transport solutions incorporate an extensive range of modern vehicles; most of which have been custom built to our own specification to fulfil the requirements of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. Our fleet of Versa-Lifts fork lift trucks provide a perfect solution when working within controlled environments that have strict hygiene restrictions.
Our equipment includes:
