What Customers Are Saying

★★★★★

Custom Made Work Platform Fast and Professional! I approached SafeRack because of my interest in the G Series of Roll-A-Step. Few days later, Bryce Jordan came to my facility to investigate on my need and potential future ones. Quotes and commercial arrangement has been set quickly. Communication between SafeRack and I was fast and professional. Before reception of our platform, we have been invited to visit the SafeRack facility. This place is amazingly clean, partially robotized and professional. Purchased platform is nicely manufactured and easy to use. Later we worked on a custom made platform. Despite the fact that my specifications were not easily reachable, they provide me a solution the same week. I totally recommend this company.

Just the right amount of assistance to make sure that our purchase and installation went great. Dana Hamor identified that the our rail was just a few fractions of an inch off and suggested that we purchase shims so that the product would fit properly when it arrived at our site instead of going through trial and error to get it right. Overall my experience was very satisfactory. Ordering was easy and the sales department offered just the right amount of assistance to make sure that our purchase and installation yielded the results we were after without being overly intrusive.
