Comprehensive management
October 13th 2008

As well as securing a two year extension to its service and maintenance contract with Westland Helicopters, Morris Material Handling has also been tasked with supplying a number of additional services to form a comprehensive facilities management package.

Whilst ensuring that all of Westland Helicopters' cranes, allied lifting and material handling equipment at its Yeovil site meet full health and safety and LOLER requirements remains central to the core contract, numerous other on-site facilities now fall within the Morris remit.

Over and above assuming responsibility for over 9000 lifting items that come under the company's statutory inspection, servicing, maintenance and minor repair programme, Morris now inspects some 300 fire escapes and access staging, as well as industrial doors, fixed ladders and steps, carousels, and both fixed and mobile type racking systems.

Additionally, Morris inspects a fleet of Demag power trucks and has assumed responsibility for overseeing a fully comprehensive onsite scaffolding service, with the company coordinating erection and dismantling on a project-by-project basis.
