The ordering and installation process was almost seamless. We discovered a way to keep our employees safe and meet OSHA standards with an easy, moveable piece of equipment. The unit is easy to move and fits the needs of the area it was placed. Benefits of the unit: 1) Provides safe access to the trailers for our employees 2) Meets OSHA standards for fall protection 3) Appears basically maintenance free. Travis McCraine was informative and responsive. All of my questions were typically answered the next day. The ordering and installation process was almost seamless.

My product was delivered faster than expected. They were excellent. There was great follow through with all questions and billing issues. I even got a email just saying that Katie was still waiting to hear back from a vendor. Katie Kelly did a AWESOME job!! One of the biggest selling points for me was the weight of the spill containment that I purchased. It was durable but light enough to easily be moved. I would definitely recommend this product as it fits the description 100%. It is very well built and will provide years of service to our company. All of my experience with the company was above standards and expectations. Everyone was fast to respond and very nice and respectful. The product was more than I expected and the price was very competitive.
