Equipment
As part of our process to deliver a hassle-free service to our customers, it is our policy to continuously invest in vehicles, lifting equipment and tackle. The Merritts fleet incorporates an extensive range of modern vehicles; most of which have been custom built to our own specification to fulfil the requirements of the automotive industry.
All our equipment is tested at regular intervals and fully certificated. All PPE, lifting equipment, tackle, trailers and vehicles are routinely inspected, undergoes regular maintenance, and meets the required industry safety standards which include PUWER (Provision and Uses of Work Equipment Regulations) and LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) to ensure compliance.
Sustainable Heavy Machinery Transportation
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Merritts. We recognise our responsibility to be part of the solution regarding sustainability and are dedicated to making a positive impact by addressing issues that affect the environment.
For many of our projects we utilise electric vehicles to carry out heavy machinery moves. This includes forklift trucks, Versa-Lift trucks, jacking systems, and pick & carry cranes. These pieces of equipment produce no pollution and are quiet when in operation.
This investment in electric technologies will future proof our business and help us to further develop our service offering, enabling us to meet the unique demands of machinery manufacturers, agents, distributors, and manufacturing companies.
Celebrating over 100 years of moving and storing heavy machinery used with the automotive sector
Since 1922, it has been our goal to provide market leading services to our customers. Our policy of continuous investment in new heavy lifting equipment systems, specialist trailers and lifting tackle, as well as the ongoing training and development of our personnel ensures we remain at the forefront of the machine moving industry.
