Davies Crane Hire Opts for Exclusive Double Coin Fitment

Liverpool based Kirkby Tyres & Wheels, the exclusive distributor of Double Coin tyres in the UK and Ireland, reports that the company’s crane tyres are becoming an increasingly popular item. This popularity can be seen by the decision made by Davies Crane Hire Limited to fit Double Coin brand tyres as its preferred brand, effective immediately.

Kirby’s national accounts director, Simon Michael, believes this decision in favour of Double Coin to be a significant step forward for the brand in the highly competitive crane industry, and reports that the South Wales crane hire firm will be supplied and services by Carmarthenshire Tyre Services Limited.

“We tested the tyre against other well known major brands and I am completely satisfied that it is a good reliable mid range tyre at a very competitive price,” said Delme Owens, managing director of Carmarthenshire Tyre Services. “In my opinion it is the perfect alternative to a premium brand and I am confident of being able to promote Double Coin crane tyres in the future.” Carmarthenshire Tyre Services was established just four years ago but is already well established in South Wales and offers a comprehensive service in all types of tyre, from wheelbarrow tyres right through to cranes. Following on from the success it has experienced with Double Coin crane tyres, Carmarthenshire Tyre Services has agreed to stock and promote the Double Coin truck tyre range.

Davies Crane Hire is one of the largest independent crane hire operations in Wales. The company specialises in mobile, all terrain and crawler cranes with capacities ranging from 8 to 200 tonnes. “In today’s competitive world businesses need to occasionally ‘think outside the box’, and this is exactly what we have done concerning Double Coin crane tyres,” commented company managing director Malcolm Davies. “After [we] tested the product over a number of months alongside other more well known brands, I am now convinced that switching to Double Coin as our preferred brand has been the right decision, which is already paying dividends in both cost and product quality.

“The turnover of our tyres is reasonably high, so it is vitally important to be working with such a reliable and cost effective mid range brand that also provides a high level of service support when required,” Davies added.

“Kirkby Tyres are delighted that Davies Crane Hire has agreed to exclusively use Double Coin tyres crane and truck tyres for its future operational tyre requirements, which I view as a positive recommendation,” concluded Simon Michael. “The brand looks set to further enhance its position in the crane and truck markets in the future.”
