As an established courier service provider, Distribusha has the experience and capability to offer a full range of technical courier services that many national carriers are unable to offer owing to a lack of skilled and fully trained staff. Providing technical courier services is a very different expertise to providing standard courier services, and one Distribusha is particularly proud to be able to provide.
So, what is a technical courier?
A technical courier is a courier service which provides specialist services which involve the collection, delivery and frequently the installation of specialised technical equipment, particularly in the medical-related field, but also including business equipment.
To break it down further, technical couriers can also be responsible for the delivery of spare parts for machines and equipment, with drivers frequently experienced and fully trained in providing installation/replacement services.
Where larger and more complex pieces of equipment, up to approximately 100kg in weight, are concerned, we also provide a team of up to three members of the Distribusha technical logistics solutions team, and the delivery will usually involve a lorry with a tail lift and a hand pallet truck for transportation prior to and post loading and unloading, respectively. There are five particular elements to the technical logistics solutions that we offer:
Equipment delivery, assembly and positioning
Efficiency is the backbone of an optimum technical courier service, and part of that efficiency does not simply involve the timely delivery of sensitive equipment, but that the equipment becomes fully operational as soon as is possible. Rather than customers having to liaise with independent contractors to install the equipment, Distribusha works closely with the manufacturers and suppliers of a wide range of medical and business equipment so that we can not only deliver goods, but we can also assemble them, position them and have them up and running within just a few hours of arrival. Distribusha will never claim to be a one-stop shop where the delivery and commissioning of technical equipment is concerned, but it is not far off!
Delivery of urgent replacement parts
When any piece of equipment breaks down, it will affect a business’ productivity. That effect may not be immediate, but often if it is a vital piece of equipment, everything can grind to a standstill. At Distribusha we offer 12-, 24- and 48-hour guaranteed delivery of spare parts and replacement machinery, depending on the location of the supplier and customer. Beyond that, where possible our team has the skillset and experience on many occasions, when needed, to install specific replacement parts to minimise the level of disruption and reduce operating losses. Beyond delivery of replacement parts, where certain technical machinery may require offsite servicing or repairs, Distribusha can deliver and install spare equipment, remove the machinery for repair, deliver it to the repair specialists, and then repeat the whole process in reverse when the repaired equipment is ready to be reinstalled.
Equipment exchange
As mentioned above, sometimes equipment has to be exchanged for maintenance or repair purposes. At Distribusha our technical courier service is not restricted solely to the delivery of equipment. We provide thorough technical logistics solutions covering virtually every eventuality from collection of equipment from the supplier to the delivery to the end user, and additional services that involve the exchange of equipment and its return to the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or the supplier.
Equipment collection and disposal
Here at Distribusha we are doing our best where the climate is concerned, and we do our best to minimise our impact on the planet. To this end, not only do we use new fuel-efficient vehicles (with a view to becoming an all-electric fleet in the future) that are regularly maintained, but we look to help recycle not only all the packaging materials that much of the equipment is protected by, but also the original equipment that was being replaced. That equipment can be either reconditioned, stripped down to provide parts, or broken up and the metal recycled. We have a network of recycling enterprises where we know who to contact when we have materials of a certain type that can be recycled.
Unpackaging and packaging disposal
As again mentioned above, recycling is high up on our list of priorities and we are keen to ensure that there is no waste after we have delivered any technical machinery. From the wooden crate to expanded polystyrene, polythene wrapping, bubble wrap and other packaging materials, virtually all of it can be recycled, and with the problems facing the planet in relation to plastic waste, every single piece of plastic that can be used again benefits us all.
