Goldline International, Inc. was founded in 1973 due to a very serious need in the Petro-chemical Industry to solve safety problems for personnel accessing: Tank Trucks, Rail Tank Cars and Barges.  In those days, before OSHA, our equipment was designed and manufactured according to ANSI, AWS and Petro-chemical Industry standards. Personnel safety has always been the main issue and still is today. When OSHA was instituted in 1975, Goldline International had to make very little change in our loading rack and “Safe-walk” designs because OSHA is based primarily on ANSI. So we were the first in our industry to furnish products that conformed to OSHA’s standards. Goldline was and still is the leader in our industry. For example, we were the first manufacturer to put safety cages on our “Safe-walk” Units and Grab Rails on our Canopy Racks, even before OSHA mandated it.  Goldline’s basic philosophy is and always has been to furnish its customers with the best equipment that is needed to do a safe job. All equipment we have manufactured was designed to solve a safety problem that existed. Most of the basic access safety equipment that is common now was first designed by Goldline. Our concept of designing has always been first to solve the safety problem, making certain the product will do the job safely, and then quote the project. From the very beginning, we decided to design and manufacture the best access safety products in our industry, and we have, since 1973.  For example, the patented, modular “Fasterect” bolt together Loading Rack System was designed to provide a safe, fast system for field erection that would allow an Erector to control the field erection time and cost safely. This “Fasterect “ System, though the materials may initially cost a little more, allows an Erector to estimate the erection cost more accurately, and erection time is shorter saving time and therefore hundreds if not thousands of dollars.  Because of the modular design, Loading Rack expansion is very simple and safe.  One reason Goldline has been so successful over the years is because the shipping date is so important, we do everything we can to keep the promised date, even if it cost us extra. The question, “When do you need it?” can become a promise from us to you.  Our warranty has been very important to our success. We believe the warranty is our commitment to you that when you purchase our equipment, it will do the job it was designed for safely. If there is a problem, Goldline will make it “right”!  Another major factor in our success is that we have many key personnel that have worked at Goldline for 20 to 25 years or longer. All Goldline employees have pride in their work and in Goldline. We have always been a small company, which has allowed us to keep tight control on our designs, Auto-cad drafting, manufacturing, follow up and quick response to our customers. Some of our customers have been using Goldline equipment that still works, since 1973, and currently continue to purchase more products.
