Representing the transition to high quality stainless steel enclosures, the Merridale MX Series, depot fuelling equipment, received a positive reception on its launch at the 2017 Commercial Vehicle Show.
“Generally recognised as the go-to event for anyone involved in the transport, logistics and associated equipment manufacturers, the CV show provides the opportunity to meet old friends and customers as well as a large number of new business prospects,” says sales director, Stephen Hannan.
“we continue to support our existing users and in particular, all new product developments are fully compatible with previous generation Merridale equipment”
“Being under the same roof as several competitors enables Merridale to differentiate its products and position itself as a market leader. The introduction of the MX Series this year, has shown how Merridale remains committed to building on its reputation for quality, rather than pushing down standards to lower prices.

Merridale showcased three new products. The MX-P diesel/gasoil pump: the MX-I, which is an Integral diesel/gasoil pump with built in fuel management and the MX-T tank contents management system.

Stand out features included the single volume dispensed/totaliser display removing the requirement for separate totaliser and displays.
Operators liked the new design for the MX-T Tank management system which now incorporates the tank gauge display, the audible and visual alarm unit and the Zener barriers, all within a single stainless-steel enclosure.
Another popular design feature was the option for high hose installations which allows more flexibility and easier handling when dispensing from depot fuelling points.
Since 2018, JPB have been using Merridale’s MX-I to refuel, monitor and keep track of their extensive fuel use and large fleet of vehicles, having previously used only receipts and hand-written accounts of transactions to stay up-to-date. Built to be the complete solution in commercial fuelling and designed to meet strict ATEX standards, the MX-I […]
Having an unusual problem of one of the locations being highly remote and without power meant that this job was slightly different to Merridale’s standard installations but none-the-less, they were able to find the solution quickly and provide a temporary self-sufficient system. Marcus, who leads operations for the internet provider said “We needed a temporary […]
With Merridale’s own range now available, as well as still supplying Gilbarco with fuel management units, the marketplace had the choice of buying either a complete Merridale built package or a Gilbarco built version of the same management system. However, over the decades that followed, Merridale enhanced its product range by introducing true twin units, […]
