For over 100 years, Merritts has consistently invested in its fleet to maintain a standard of excellence, ensuring access to industry-leading equipment for the safe transport and installation of heavy machinery. This latest addition enables Merritts to continue meeting the specialised requirements of machinery manufacturers, agents, distributors, and industrial firms.

James Merritt, co-owner, commented on the investment: “In the past year, we’ve seen a significant increase in enquiries, driving a higher demand for specialised lifting equipment and transport solutions. Ongoing investment in the latest technology is a core part of our strategy, allowing us to uphold the professional image of our clients when handling and installing their machinery.”
