Our replacement part was of great quality and arrived very fast. Our SafeRack representative Phyllis was great. Our replacement part was of great quality and arrived very fast.

One of the best, if not the best, salesmen that I have ever dealt with. Pat Early was absolutely one of the best, if not the best, salesmen that I have ever dealt with. He was always responsive to my needs, understood the changes and assisted in getting them taken care of. I have recommended SafeRack to all the other plants within my division of Owens Corning. Scott Hite was another outstanding salesman that I had the pleasure of dealing with. Our original design called for an auto-tarping system (which is how I found out about SafeRack), but after investigating it with Scott and Pat, they came to me and informed that due to building specs you were unable to install one. That is where a couple of competitors kind of stopped, but Pat kept bringing up other possible solutions. His dedication to the project is why we ended up choosing SafeRack. When the units came, they were just as described. They were packaged secure and together, and were a simple unload. Install went without issue, because of the way that SafeRack loaded the parts and pieces. The end user (the truck drivers) like the ease of use of the gangways. The Owens Corning Rockford Plant is grateful to SafeRack for assisting us in reducing a safety risk at a fair price.

Quality is much better than expected. The assembly instructions were very simple and detailed and just two steel erectors did this in just a couple of hours, start to finish. Quality is much better than expected, hoisting the ladder is easy and simple.
