Ring Carnation has announced that it is currently remaining open to ensure it can
continue to serve ambulances and other emergency service vehicles with much-needed
specialist equipment during this unprecedented time.
These vehicles have increasing levels of auxiliary electrical equipment on-board, placing
greater demand upon batteries. Ring Carnation services the emergency and specialist
vehicle sectors with intelligent switching and power management systems to maintain
correct battery power and help to keep essential equipment in operation.
As a result, the Ring Carnation team is currently working flat out to deliver vital genisys
components and other essential spare parts.
Ring Carnation’s genisys programmable logic control systems are designed to monitor
voltage levels and distribute power to where it is needed most, maintaining safe vehicle
operation and allowing critical equipment to operate.
Following strict social-distancing guidelines, staff levels have been reduced to three
workers in the engineering production. Their main focus is to work on urgent orders for new
ambulances that are currently in production for NHS Trusts up and down the country.
Richard Yates, Sales Director at Ring Carnation, said: “First and foremost, the safety of
our team is paramount, and we have taken the necessary precautions to look after those
who are continuing to work. We offer our full support and praise to those on the frontlines
tackling this pandemic head on, and it’s absolutely crucial that they have access to the
correct equipment and can work uninterrupted and efficiently as possible. Ambulances
and other emergency services are vital all year round, but now more than ever, it’s
important that they can continue to operate as efficiently as possible.
“We are monitoring Government updates daily and will keep all customers updated
should anything change. In the meantime, we will continue to do all we can to offer our
full support to customers requiring essential parts during these difficult circumstances.”
