I worked with Travis McCraine and he was amazing to work with. I worked with Travis McCraine and he was amazing to work with. Travis was the only rep that would visit the site among all your competition so this made it a no brainer. The product is easy to install. It is a quality made product. You have a solution to fit any configuration available. It would have been nice to get the product to the customer on Friday instead of Sunday but that was not all your fault.

This is a great product that can be modified to solve many issues. This is a great product that can be modified to solve many issues. I found that during the field measurement step, manway access has to be considered so supports or legs are not in the way. I appreciated the field support from Shane, who was very responsive, the pre-engineered design and the easy assembly.
