Alliance Tire Group (ATG) unveiled three new solid Galaxy tires – the LHD 500 SDS L-5, the Super Smooth SDS L-5 and the YardMaster SDS – at the recently held WasteExpo 2016. The new products complement the company’s first solid tire Beefy Baby SDS, which was launched last year. “We’re seeing a lot of interest in our solid tires from operators of scrapyards and transfer stations, where puncture hazards are highest and downtime is extremely costly,” said Bruce Besancon, vice president of marketing for Alliance Tire Americas, Inc. The company also saw continued interest in the pneumatic Galaxy Hulk and the pneumatic Beefy Baby III—which has become popular for skid steer and loader tires, he added. “Meanwhile, people managing compost and remediation projects for waste management companies are looking for tires from our industrial and even agricultural lines, covered by our Galaxy and Alliance brands,” he added. “All in all, what we’re seeing is that waste management customers are looking for a wide range of purpose-built tires that can handle the punishing environments, diverse job sites, broad array of materials in the waste stream, heavy loads and relentless schedules they work in every day.”
