★★★★

This product is super easy to install. My gangway was delivered in the 3 weeks that was quoted to me and I was kept well informed of when it shipped and was expected to be here. This product is super easy to install. When one becomes damaged, it takes a few people and a little time and bam, business as usual. Dana Hamor was awesome. She always gets in touch with me very quickly. I always feel like I am her only customer. I am buying a superior product at a great price and getting the best customer service. I would recommend this G-4 gangway to anyone interested. You could tie my hands behind my back and I would peck at my keyboard with my nose to order one. The customer service is top notch and the product is very well made. I am buying a superior product at a great price and getting the best customer service. Every experience with SafeRack has been wonderful. From the time I ask for a quote until I receive the product, I feel as though everyone there has a hand in the process. I am very skeptical when switching to a new company for anything but since I met with SafeRack several years ago, I knew they were a great company but it wasn't until after we bought our first gangway that I found out just how great they really are. Thank you to everyone there.
