Merritts regularly carry out the movement and installation of lithographic, flexographic and web printing presses for the world’s leading print machinery manufacturers.

We carry out the delivery and installation of industrial printing presses on a regular basis. Our engineers understand the precise requirements of a printing press install are experienced in executing the assembly to the manufacturer’s exact specifications.

Our versatile lifting equipment means we can provide a solution for any machinery moving scenario. By utilising our Versa-Lift trucks we are able to move and position machinery within confined spaces, which is a great advantage when there is minimal manoeuvring space within the facility.

We understand that you require as little impact as possible on your production schedule. To facilitate this, we can complete your project out of standard working hours and/or at weekends. Whether you require the installation of new machinery, or the removal and relocation of existing machinery, by choosing Merritts you will receive an unparalleled quality of service.
