KLAUS DOUBLE PARKING PUTS CUSTOMERS AT THE HEART OF BUSINESS
PROVIDING uncomplicated parking solutions in constrained,
densely populated urban areas is at the centre of what Double
Parking Systems UK endeavour to do.
As the UK Partner of the Klaus Multiparking, Double Parking Systems has been around for the last 10 years. The original company, Klaus, was established in 1907 as a wheelwrights shop in Bad Tolz, Bavaria, and quickly gained a reputation as suppliers of high quality products
such as auto body structures, air brake tippers, carousel designs, excavators and side loader cranes.
In 1964, Klaus developed the first vehicle parking systems which laid the foundation for their current position as one of the worldwide leaders in supplying specialised mechanical parking equipment. With almost 50 years of experience in the planning and production of parking systems, Klaus, through their global network of 65 sales partners on all continents, provide reliability and first-class customer service as an integral part of their successful business philosophy.
Double Parking Systems in the UK attract clients from all market sectors, including commercial, office, retail, industrial and
automotive. Involvement often starts from project inception by architects, and customers include developers, contractors, clients, and their appointed project managers.
CONTINUED SUCCESS
Double Parking Systems have very recently seen the successful completion of the installation of the AP-R3 Automatic Parking System for 48 spaces at The Shard in London. The Shard is the tallest building in Western Europe and was developed by the Sellar Property
Group in association with London Bridge Quarter Ltd. Designed by Renzo Piano Architects, the building stands 310m tall with features including a hotel, office space, retail space, restaurant space and a public viewing gallery which opened on 1 February 2013.
Managing Director of Double Parking Systems, Derek Guiver, said that The Shard project was just one of many the company have successfully completed since its inception in the UK 10 years ago. Derek is responsible for all sales, marketing, installation and maintenance
of parking equipment in the UK and Channel Islands.
My activities are all ˜hands-on and involve meetings with clients, technical ISSUE 10812 Loading...input, site surveys, and project planning, says Derek. Technical knowledge, research, and development and innovation is key to our continued success. Our investment in these areas will definitely continue.
CUSTOMER-FOCUSED
The Klaus Multiparking, including its worldwide network of sales partners, never forget that customers have the freedom of choice when it comes to their preferred suppliers. They continue to focus on providing their customers with a quality of service they cannot find elsewhere, which helps to ensure they return time and again. The company continue to develop a range of state of the art products which include upgrading and streamlining of floor and door finishes. All products are covered by a 12 month warranty and support by planned maintenance programmes through Double Parking Systems UK.
The highest levels of health and safety are adhered to and all products have achieved CE or DIN conformity to EN 14010.
MILESTONES
As a whole, Klaus Multiparking have been at the forefront of innovation since their beginnings, but particularly since the 1960s. As well as their development of the first mechanical parking system in 1964, they were market leaders in obtaining first foreign licences in the 1970s. In 1988, Klaus pioneered semi-automatic systems and in 1993 this progressed to fully automatic systems. Additional achievements since the new millennium include an innovation prize in 2005 for developing an adjustable independent model (Multivario 2082). Although the economic downturn has affected the company, especially within the construction industry, the need to maximise availability of car parking in urban areas, with what is a unique product, has offset this to some extent.
We have had to work extremely hard to in orders in a very competitive marketplace, says Derek. Space constraints, particularly in densely populated urban areas, present challenging logistical problems. It is our ambition to provide uncomplicated
parking solutions to all customers with a straightforward, common-sense approach.
