Ramsey Equipment Replacements by Leveltec Engineering
With discontinued products there becomes a challenge of change. What do we do, how do we do it and what do we actually need?
Here at Leveltec we have been manufacturing and distributing control devices for material handling monitoring applications for the past 40 years. Our tilt and temperature switches are Australian made and meet current Australian and New Zealand standards. They are designed to meet the specific need of level and thermal detection for bulk material handling applications, and offer increased reliability, performance and non-mercury solutions.
We offer mercury and non-mercury solutions for bulk material handling, fixed plant and moving plants, and bearing temperature monitoring. Sourcing your tilt and temperature switches from Leveltec means you benefit from high quality Australian-made products, quick turnaround on orders, the ability to bespoke solutions and the knowledge you are supporting the local manufacturing industry.
Here at Leveltec, our specialty is applications support when it comes to applying for change. Speak to our team about the replacement of your current Ramsey tilt switches and the management change that needs to take place, so all aspects of your business needs are addressed.
