Customer Reviews
We will be ordering more of your product in the future. I really like the construction, the easy install, and bolt on plate that comes with the kit. I purchased a total of 100 safety swing gates on two occasions and each time the gates were delivered ahead of schedule.
The quality of your product assured us that we had safety at the top of our list! I do most of my work in power plants or heavy industrial, and I have recommended them to my customers. We will be ordering more of your product in the future. I'm afraid the only feedback I can give you is to keep up the good work.

The salespeople, the salespeople, and the salespeople. The salespeople, the salespeople, and the salespeople. Wonderful people take care of you through the whole process. I can always count on my rep to help me. I inadvertently placed 2 orders for a gangway when I just needed one. My rep called me to verify before she placed the order and I was able to cancel one of them. Not many places would be that caring or honest if they saw 2 orders come through. No obstacle would keep me from buying from SafeRack.
