I had no discrepancies or expediting issues.

I had no discrepancies or expediting issues and did not have to put extra time into this order after I placed it, which is a big plus. Bryce Jordan was very responsive and on top of things.

Safe, easy to operate gangways – and a great company, too.

Everyone is very friendly and professional with me. I received updates on when the unit will ship from Customer Service and they worked with us on what carriers we want them to ship it with. Safety for the truck drivers using the gangways is important. They are easy to operate for all types of people. Springs are very easy to adjust. Foot lock lever seems to work well. I would recommend your product because it has been a good product for us and I really think that the customer service that goes along with a great product cannot be beaten. Good product and a good company to go along with it.

I am very impressed with the my first time buying from you!

The order was delivered in 2 weeks. It was actually perfect timing for the installation needs. When the product arrived in receiving I received a phone call from the supervisor. She stated that some “really nice, heavy duty looking” pallets had shown up for me. The usual response is “there is a package here for you.” I like the way you stretch wrap your product so it can be seen by all who touch it, from your facility to the destination. To me this is a good marketing tool! As we installed these on the lines all operators and line leads comments were overly positive about what we purchased and they were thankful that I brought those in. From a design standpoint, the rotomold design is perfect for this application along with the durable grid platform! You are never really sure what you may get for a first time buy, but I and others are very impressed with the our first time buy from you! Thank you!
