| Service and Customer Care
Many customers rely on A1-Roper's
expertise to repair, refurbish
and replace Ropers or other manufacturers
ladles and gearboxes to keep them
in good condition. This is vitally important in the light of
tough health & safety requirements
concerning lifting and pouring
of molten metal.
Some Roper ladles recently repaired, with capacities of 10,000kg were manufactured over 30 years ago and are still in good working order.
An extensive range of spares is
available ex-stock. |
