Aggregate Industries Add Another ‘Faultless’ Merridale System to Their Network

Aggregate Industries UK, who have a range of Merridale equipment across nine of their networks of quarries and depots including an original Merridale Auditor first installed in 2000, recently installed Merridale’s latest MX-I pump and fuel management system and the MX-T tank management system at their quarry in Shrewsbury.

James Ward of Aggregate Industries said “Over the years that we’ve had Merridale equipment I’ve never been disappointed. The pumps are faultless, I’ve never had any complaints from any of the team when using it. As you can imagine, it stands up to some heavy usage with our fleet too.”

Since 1994, Merridale has been producing built-to-order products using only the best, tried, and tested components. With all Merridale products designed in-house to achieve a minimum life of 10 years and meet strict ATEX standards, there is no compromise on build quality.

James continued “Not to mention the added security and access restrictions we have now! We know exactly who is refuelling what and when. It’s reassuring to know you always have an eye on the fuel in a way, especially with the tank stock sudden-drop alerts.”

Merridale’s MX-I can include a variety of data entry options before the pump dispenses fuel such as DataKeys, DataTags or the more robust v-Link magnetic connection system. Drivers can also input passcodes and vehicle data using the robust alpha-numeric keypad.

For when a pump is kept outside and not protected by the anti-vandal security shutter of a Merridale tank, the MX-I features an auto-lighting and auto-dimming display screen to help avoid attracting unwanted attention during dark hours.

Merridale’s tank management systems also include stock depletion detection, to alert you immediately via SMS or email, of an unexpected drop in fuel level. This means that you can be alerted to any severe leak or theft from the tank, irrespective of where you are, buying you valuable time in preventing further loss.

For complete functionality, the Merridale MX-I links seamlessly with Merridale’s FuelWorks fuel management software to unlock a wealth of reporting and monitoring functions.

FuelWorks allows multiple users to report on and monitor their environmental impact, fuel usage, costs and vehicle performance across multiple sites or tanks. Data can be accessed in real-time using any web-connected device and scheduled reports can be automatically processed and sent to the required parties. FuelWorks also has the capability to monitor tank levels and predict low stock, with email alerts being sent in such events.

“FuelWorks has been a great help too. We really appreciate the alerts about deliveries and tank stock levels but having access to vehicle performance reports is a nice bonus. It was very easy to get to grips with too, the training was simple and didn’t take us long.”

The software has been designed in-house by Merridale to be as user-friendly as possible, without sacrificing any functionality. Merridale also offers unrivaled levels of support and training, with initial training being available remotely, and a help desk on hand to offer ongoing support.
