Customer Reviews
It took longer for us to issue the PO than it did to get the product! Jason is our Super Hero. We call him Captain America… he's great! It took longer for us to issue the PO than it did to get the product! Thanks again!
By Gerald L. from L-3 Communications
Always a positive experience. Price is good. Outstanding delivery time. If it wasn't in stock for immediate delivery, I would have gone to another supplier. SafeRack had the item ready to go. My salesman John Nance is very efficient and responds almost immediately. This product improves safety for my staff, cutting down their time moving around the yard. This product is weather protected, with no maintenance, plus saves cost on designing, engineering and building in-house. Always a positive experience. Price is good.
By Jerry C. from Yellowline Asphalt Products Ltd
Excellence. Great service. The ability to make changes on site is a plus. Our experience was all very positive.
By Woody B. from Sylvester & Cockrum Inc.
Customer service was great. We now comply with fall protection requirements. It keeps our guys safe. While these systems are expensive, the benefit outweighs the initial cost. Customer service was great – I had the drawings and assembly instructions a week before the rack arrived. Ray Evans was extremely helpful. Keep up the good work, SafeRack
