Their engineering is second to none. I think SafeRack is an outstanding company that offers an outstanding product at a very competitive price. Their engineering is second to none and they have an outstanding sales and service department. You can count on your order being delivered in the time frame they tell you it will be. I would recommend that any company that is involved in loading tanker trailers to contact them, if for no other reason but safety for your employees, easy access for loading trucks and a time saver. This product is durable and will save you time and money in lost production because of injuries and/or insurance claims.
