The products were delivered in a timely manner. The products were delivered in a timely manner. The platform and gangway arrived much earlier than expected. Pat Early was very responsive.

Durable, lightweight engineering, low cost and friendly staff. As soon as I placed the call, the salesman was making plans to arrive at our warehouse to help figure out exactly what application was going to work best for my team. He made it to us within just a few days of the initial conversation, and we were able to come up with an extremely safe solution that worked! The equipment purchased was delivered sooner than our salesman originally estimated! We were able to almost double our productivity after purchase of the MAUI. We love how light this unit is! We also love how, compared to other models on the market today, SafeRack has the MAUI that is free standing, lightweight, easy to move in and out of tight areas and is simple to operate. We searched high and low for a good lightweight, adjustable platform for our warehouse. If it would not have been for SafeRack's durable, lightweight engineering, low cost and friendly staff, we would still be on the market searching today!

Customer Reviews

For the springs, I liked the fact that they came as matched pairs. For the springs, I liked the fact that they came as matched pairs. For the swivel seal kits I liked the fact that they were inexpensive compared to the entire swivel joint. They provide short term repair potential in the event of failure of the primary installed components.
