Petrochemical

Merritts specialises in the movement of heavy machinery used within the petrochemical industry. Our clientele includes UK-based petrochemical plants and oilfields.

Today’s petrochemical producers encounter numerous challenges, such as stringent environmental regulations, fluctuating commodity prices, and varying global demand. We recognise that these factors continually put profitability under pressure.

With decades of industrial services experience and specialist knowledge in the oil and gas industry, Merritts is perfectly positioned to support refinery and chemical plant operators in managing budgets.

Our projects range from installing new equipment and conducting maintenance turnarounds or shutdowns to expanding or relocating plants. We maintain close relationships with our clients, ensuring that we understand the changes and constraints of every project phase so that all required lifting and transport are carried out efficiently.

Comprehensive Project Execution

In addition to our planning and design capabilities, we reliably and safely execute project delivery. Our highly experienced teams combine swift operational execution with a stringent approach to safety, tailoring our solutions to meet the specific needs of each project.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Merritts. We are committed to making a positive environmental impact. For many projects, we use electric vehicles for heavy machinery moves, including forklift trucks, Versa-Lift trucks, jacking systems, and pick & carry cranes. These electric technologies produce no pollution and operate quietly, future-proofing our business and enhancing our service offerings to meet the unique demands of machinery manufacturers, agents, distributors, and manufacturing companies.
