If you are a machine manufacturer, representative, or salesman, you will be aware of how challenging the smooth delivery and installation of new machines can be.
You will also be aware how how important it is that the installation happens within the scheduled timeframe
Often, these are complex delivery's where your customer is expecting seamless delivery to ensure their own production deadlines are met for their customer.
A troublesome delivery for you can have serious implications on your relationship with your customer, which has a knock on effect along the supply chain.
DDK Machine Movers Ltd understand the need for delivery's that are;
On time
Within Budget
Exceed customer expectations
When you are picking a service provider, you are selecting a company to represent you during the installation. But how do you know who to appoint?
How does DDK set itself apart from other installation companies?
DDK Machine Movers pride ourselves on investing in state of the art equipment, to ensure, smooth, safe and practical installations.
This could include our Versa Lift - capable of lifting large loads on blades such as large CNC machinery, our 68 ton hiab crane for larger crane liftable machinery - such as large routing equipment, right down to our smaller box vehicles with large capacity taillifts - for those of you how would like cost effective delivery's for smaller 2,500kgs lathes.
We have a tailor made fleet for installing machinery, and our staff specialized exclusively in relocating, installing, bolting down, assembling, and positioning machinery.
What can DDK do for me that other company's overlook?
We have a very clear ethos that runs throughout our operation - treat deliveries as if they are our own.
Our staff are aware that many of these installations are of machinery that can run into the hundreds of thousands of pounds, or in some cases millions.
This is not always large conglomerate companies where going above and beyond can be overlooked, more times than not these are small/medium sized companies where the owner is still very much involved, the machinery they are buying is a huge personal investment for them that they have an active interest that the delivery goes smoothly.
We understand this. This means if an external transport company is late, we will do everything in our power to ensure the delivery is bought back into schedule. If a crane company lets you down, we will find a solution, and if there has been an installation oversight, our experienced staff have a wealth of knowledge to find a solution.
We understand these machines are new - Our staff polish machinery once installed to ensure it looks how it looked in the showroom, when they placed an order. The installation is then photographed and passed onto your installations team along with signed delivery notes.
What about the cost?
Its fine for me to sit here and tout our services, but in reality a huge consideration in business is... well what is the cost?
As a team, we actively try to ensure we are not only the best service provider, but also the most cost effective. This is done by
Owning everything in house. We do not take out huge finance plans, have ridiculous payment terms, or add confusing scattered charges. We price a job, and provided the scope stays the same, we will honor that cost. Because we own everything in house and not paying interest on loans and finance, this cost is ultimately passed down to you. This means you get a better level of service for less money.
Well geographically placed. DDK are placed centrally to all of the busiest docks in the UK, and extremely close to London. In terms of machinery movers we are only of very few in the immediate London vicinity. London is it's own bubble in machine moving terms, with it's own unique challenges.
Exceptional staff. DDK are extremely selective in our hiring process. We search out only the most experienced, well trained, competent and sensible staff. Our staff are hard working, intelligent, honest and loyal, something we are extremely proud of. We certainly pay well for our team, but in the long term, the benefits are obvious. No damaged machinery, no injured people, well maintained equipment, sensible cost effective solutions, and a genuine passion and interest in the machinery being moved.
