Tires to Increase Construction Site Productive 

The future of the construction industry looks bright as its growth continues to be steady into the new year. With the need to update the country's aging infrastructure, increased demand for renewable energy, and a growing population in need of residential buildings, it doesn’t look like business will be slowing down anytime soon. Many companies have been challenged to meet the demands of rapid growth—such as shortages in skilled labor and staying on schedule—and there are also many smaller complications that arise when construction companies are working at maximum capacity.

Electing New Tires

The primary season is off and running, and America’s heartland is speaking loud and clear—they are voting for the person they feel is best for the job, not the person with the most media attention, star power, or biggest name. Our Alliance, Galaxy, and Primex tires may not be as well known or have big flashy marketing as the other brands, but we have something more important that operators can believe in from sea to shining sea: a commitment to delivering the hardest working, most durable, and best-performing tire we can make.

The History of the Skid Steer

Maneuverable and versatile, the last couple of decades have seen skid steers become a fixture on most construction sites. With no sign of slowing down, manufacturers continue to develop new attachments and find new uses for skid steers on the job. Galaxy has been there since the beginning and continues to set the standard for skid steer tire performance by both updating our classic offerings and creating new tires and technologies to handle the growing list of tasks skid steers are expected to perform and conditions in which they are required to operate.  

As of Jan 1, 2021, Alliance Tire Group and Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. changed their names to Yokohama Off-Highway Tires and Yokohama Off-Highway Tires America, Inc respectively. The Alliance, Galaxy and Primex brands and product names remain unchanged. Product information is available at www.yokohama-oht.com.

The Alliance Tire Group (ATG) booth at the massive World of Concrete Show represents a solid lineup of tires purpose-built for the construction industry. ATG will be using its trade show display to highlight the wide range of tread designs and specs that provide equipment owners with the ideal tire for the challenging environment of paving, building and demolition.

World of Concrete

While much of the country is busy preparing itself for the Super Bowl, the commercial concrete and masonry construction industries will have already commenced and concluded their largest and most important event of the year. Going into its 43rd year, the World of Concrete is taking place between February 2-5, in Las Vegas, Nevada…and by the looks of it, this will be the biggest show in years. Here are five reasons World of Concrete 2016 shouldn’t be missed.
