Galaxy Solid Tires 

The use of solid tires continues to become more widespread within the waste, recycling, and construction industries. As margins get tighter, wages rise, and qualified employees become more scarce in these fields, the need for businesses to reduce downtime and increase productivity is more important than ever. By reducing the risk of sidelining a machine due to tire damage—whether from a chunk of metal or employee inexperience—solid tires can quickly prove themselves to be a solid investment. And with the option to choose designs with shock-absorbing apertures, driving on solid tires has become less jarring.

Tires for Busy Warehouses 

This holiday, the nation’s warehouses are busier than ever ensuring stores and homes are receiving the season’s must-have gifts. The good news is that the demand for consumer goods is on the rise, thanks to a robust economy. Even better, as people in the U.S. increasingly move toward internet shopping, the need for warehouses and distribution centers continues to grow in support of the growth of e-commerce. Online sales this year tallied over $5 billion over Thanksgiving and Black Friday alone, and mobile shopping recorded its first billion-dollar sales day on Black Friday. These numbers are sure to continue to rise over the coming years.

The Important Role Soil Plays In Our Lives

On December 5, the United Nations and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) will celebrate World Soil Day, giving global thinkers and leaders an opportunity to discuss the important role soil plays in our daily lives. While we don’t expect you’ll hear many people saying “happy soil days,” we do appreciate the significance of soils, since protecting them is of utmost importance in the design of our high-quality, innovative agriculture and forestry tires.

How the U.S. Came Together Around the Thanksgiving Dinner Table

What often gets lost in our celebration of Thanksgiving among the turkey, the football, and the Macy’s Day Parade is the role of Abraham Lincoln in the foundation of the revered family Holiday. It wasn’t until Lincoln’s proclamation of the observance of a national day of thanks to unify a country divided during the Civil War, that Thanksgiving as we know it came to be celebrated nationally on the last Thursday of every November.
