From the archive, Front-end loader at recycling plant

At a big glass recycling plant in Portland, Oregon, Shift Foreman Don Gordon drives the front-end loader into a glittering green slope of broken bottles.   

“Without having my tires foam filled, my machine would probably be out of service at least once EACH hour”

After about six months, the tires are also retreaded by Industrial Tire Service in Portland, “We can recap most of these 6 or 7 times”

Knowing Where Your MSDS Sheets are can Bring you Peace of Mind!

Your warehouse man nervously informs you there is someone to see you! Unfortunately it’s not Publishers Clearing House to present a big check. It’s your city Fire Marshall and a representative from the Environmental Protection Agency.

“Where are your MSDS documents?”

Tech Tip: Proper Pressure = Key to Peak Performance

“What pressure should I put in the tire”?

This is probably the most commonly asked question about the fill process.

Unlike an air filled tire, the only opportunity you have to adjust the pressure on a poly filled tire is during processing. This is why you must get it right the first time. The correct way to determine proper pressure is to add the weight of the machine and the load it is carrying. This information, along with application, speed, & distance of travel, should all be considered when consulting the manufacturer’s book for recommended pressure. A pressure rating is sometimes listed on the sidewall of the tire. Remember, this is usually a maximum pressure. Putting too much pressure in a tire can result in a rough ride and premature wear. Too little pressure can result in uneven wear and excessive heat buildup.
