Beefing Up On Ag Tires

May 28th is National Hamburger Day in the U.S. While many of us will be celebrating this fun national holiday over the long Memorial Day weekend with burgers on the grill, it’s also the perfect time to recognize one of the nation’s leading farm commodities: cattle and calves. A recent trade deal between the U.S. and China will allow China to import U.S. beef for the first time in almost fifteen years, giving U.S. beef producers access to the world’s second largest beef consuming market.

National Ag Day and the Distribution Chain 

On March 21, 2017, the United States will celebrate the people responsible for feeding the world’s seven billion people with National Ag Day. We know the hard work that goes into getting food from the farm to your table—and we’re proud to say our tires can be found every step of the way—in the fields of the country’s 2.2. million farms, on the pavement beneath the nation's 3.5 million truckers, and everywhere in between.

Why Earthmoving Equipment is Radializing 

As the construction industry continues to rebound in the wake of the Great Recession, problems such as rising labor costs and the need to develop employees mean that construction companies must maximize every dollar spent to remain profitable. Furthermore, confronted with a shortage of skilled labor, construction companies need to ensure they are getting the most out of their most valuable employees. These factors have all led to the rapid adoption of radial tires on today’s earthmoving equipment, to reduce downtime for busy crews and make the most out of their equipment investment.

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.
