SafeRack has always come through for us. I have counted on SafeRack several times to expedite shipment of these when we needed one. Very responsive and helpful, keeping me informed all the way through the order and through shipment of the product. They have always come through for us. The SafeRack is the piece of equipment we want and like in our plant. It makes the employees think safety." It looks good, and they are the best safety device we have to load trailers."

My rep, Brandon Harrison, was highly capable. My rep, Brandon Harrison, was highly capable. It was an unplanned replacement of an existing platform. Not matching the existing carriage system would prevent an easy replacement. Cost of the rack could have also prevented the purchase, but a good design gives a good final product that was easy to install and easy to use. The use of the unloading platform was not intuitive to some operators. I found it best to push the top step to start lowering the rack. Some operators just used the side handles with much more difficulty. A placard that says push here may be useful. Overall, I would recommend this product, it feels sturdy, has a good safety color pattern, and is easy to maneuver.
