Merritts has added an all electric JMG MC 160 pick & carry crane

Director Richard Merritt, said: “Over recent months, we have experienced a significant increase in demand for heavy machinery moving services in ‘clean’ industries such as food and pharmaceutical manufacturing where hygiene and cleanliness are of paramount importance. JMG electric pick & carry cranes are state of the art. The crane’s unique componentry enables it to perform tasks which would otherwise require larger and more expensive lifting equipment, and its compact dimensions allow access to congested factory sites with ease.”

Established in 1922, family owned Joseph Merritt specialises in the lifting, removal, transportation, installation and storage of heavy machinery. It employs 45 and operates from a fully equipped storage and bonded warehouse facility in Kirkby in Ashfield, Nottingham.
