Cost-effective access platform to test grain in semi-trailers SafeRack's Mark Gardner was excellent to work with and he was always willing to help and change where necessary… he was very patient even throughout the 15 rounds of design changes.

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!!
