Thanks Jason, Kim and SafeRack!! Jason McKnight is a superstar! He responded to my call for help with a damaged gangway immediately, and got my order placed and shipped in record time! Great Job, Jason! Kim Anderson followed up right away with an order acknowledgement and details about shipping. Since we were unable to load any trucks until the replacement equipment arrived, their assistance enabled our company to get back out on the road with as little delay as possible. Thanks Jason, Kim and SafeRack!!

Quality products and good response when issues arise. Personally, I truly appreciate customer service. Many companies have similar products, they might be cheaper, better or worse. Regardless, it is always important to know that your sales engineer cares about your and your plant. Curtis and John have visited our plant multiple times, spoken with area supervisors as well as the operators (the most important ones). They have gained trust by showing quality products and good response when issues arise.

Flat Ramp Access Gangway We needed a replacement part for our flat ramp access gangway. SafeRack was very professional and provided a quick response time.

By John L. from CGL INC

★★★★★

Thank you for your fast service. Our main concerns here are safety and reliability. The gangways have proven to be the safest option for gaining access to the rail cars. The units have been very dependable, including one unit that is over 15 years old, and they were innovative. Due to difficulty placing all the tankers, SafeRack incorporated two of the gangways on a sliding track allowing for much needed adjustment.
