The Top Selling Marking Tape – SafetyTac – is Now Being Offered Through Creative Safety Supply

SafetyTac Marking Tape

Lake Oswego, OR (PRWEB) February 15, 2013

SafetyTac industrial floor tape has been used in some of the toughest environments and has out-performed the rest with its strong adhesive and double-tapered edge that makes it feel like it's just part of the floor. Creative Safety Supply is now offering SafetyTac floor tape as their top seller when it comes to marking floor tape. It is considered as #1 rated for all traffic situations including high forklift and truck traffic. SafetyTac tape is the perfect solution for almost any floor marking project for both office and factory scenarios. The tape has a thinner profile and stronger adhesive than other industrial tapes and can handle heavy forklift traffic and truck traffic, making it suitable for most any size facility.

The easy to apply peel-n-stick installation makes marking floor projects run smooth and requires little time to complete. There is no dry time, cure time, fumes or messy clean up, which can limit productivity. There is no applicator that is needed to install and the tape will not come up until it is required to come up. The tape is chemical, UV, water, and grease resistant making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.

SafetyTac tape is available in ten colors making it ideal for 5S programs. The bright colors bring visual awareness to aisles, stairways and hazardous areas for employees, pedestrians and visitors. SafetyTac tape can prevent accidents if used properly as suggested by OSHA floor marking standards. Creative Safety Supply offers a free floor marking guide that will provide information to help create a safe workplace for any office, warehouse, or facility.

A plant manager commented about SafetyTape tape, "We purchase the SafetyTac tape for our warehouse floors and the tape has lasted longer than any other tape. We have pallet jacks and forklifts running over them all day. And the tape has lasted 2 years before having to be replaced."

A-B Tech Praised by President Obama for Advanced Manufacturing Training Opportunities

A-B Tech Praised by President Obama for Advanced Manufacturing Training Opportunities

President Barack Obama greets members of the audience after a speech Wednesday at Linamar in Arden, NC

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) February 16, 2013

President Barack Obama touted Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College for providing relevant training to students during his stop at Linamar in Arden on Wednesday.

A-B Tech started working with Linamar a few years ago to provide two types of training for the company, according to Shelley White, Senior Executive Director of Economic and Workforce Development/Continuing Education at A-B Tech.

"We do open enrollment technical skills training such as machining, forklift operator and welding. Those classes help prepare students to gain employment with the company. Then we have customized training where we develop training solutions to meet their business needs," she said.

Obama praised customized training partnership at the College. "A-B Tech and Linamar worked together to do something that is really smart. Rather than have kids just – or in some cases not kids, older workers – show up and they're taking a bunch of classes but they don't know how this is directly going to lead to a job, what you do is customize the class to train people so they can come and work at the plant and they're getting experience that's directly applicable to what's being done here at the job," he said.

A-B Tech has several partnerships with industry, each customized to meet the needs of that company. "We have great curriculum, continuing education and customized training partnerships with Eaton, Kearfott, AvL Technologies and so many others," said White.

"That's good for the community. It's good for Linamar, because they're getting workers who they know can do the job. It's good for the folks who are going to the community college, because they know if they work hard and they do well in the class there's a job waiting for them. It's good for the economy as a whole," Obama said.

Cindy Hamilton, Director of Economic and Workforce Development, was at Linamar with White when Obama spoke. "The part I love is how he highlighted the customized training, meaning the specialized training meets the needs of that particular industry. It was a highlight to the community college system and A-B Tech in particular on how well we are able to customize training to each individual business - large or small. The College is very responsive to the needs of industry," she said.

During the State of the Union address on Tuesday, Obama mentioned 3D printers as a sign of advanced technology. A-B Tech has trained students on the design software and the printer itself for the past few years, according to White. "Some of the other advanced technology skills in manufacturing offered at A-B Tech beyond the CNC machining include CNC plasma cutting, hydraulic and pneumatic trainers for mechanical engineering, robotic trainers and robotic welding," she said.

Obama singled out Linamar employee Jeff Brower who had been laid off as a diesel mechanic. "He went to A-B Technology, took a class in automated machining. A few months ago, Jeff got his diploma. He graduated on a Wednesday, interviewed at this plant on Thursday. By Friday, he was working as a machine operator," he said.

"We are honored the President recognized the College as a national model of a successful partnership between higher education and industry. This exposure will benefit our students and the community as it brings attention to the technical training and jobs in advanced manufacturing that are available," White said.

High Performance RipTide? Pressure Washer Meets the Demand for Faster Field Cleaning

High Performance RipTide™ Pressure Washer Meets the Demand for Faster Field Cleaning

South Haven, MI (PRWEB) February 18, 2013

Washing field equipment and vehicles can be a difficult, time consuming task, particularly when dealing with hard-to-reach girders, trucks covered in caked-on mud, or oily frac tanks. To meet the demand for a faster cleaning, Riveer has introduced the RipTide™ Pressure Washer. Designed to manage tough cleaning jobs faster and more efficiently, RipTide features full-bore water delivery technology, providing diesel-powered washing performance up to 3,000 PSI.

Hot Water from One, Two or Three Pumps

RipTide is available with a range of options based on customer requirements. Depending on configuration, RipTide can pump 16 to 90 GPM from one, two or three independent pumps, each with operator controlled water pressure, temperature, and solvent mix. Each pump is connected directly to 100 ft. hose reel. Twin fuel tanks, one for the motor and one for the burners, are offered up to 35 gallons each. One-button GripStart™ on/off throttles the system down to idle when the trigger is released, and throttles up when the trigger is squeezed. Available add-ons include foaming guns, water cannons, and adjustable spray wands that allow users to switch between stream and fog output.

RipTide is designed for jobsite vehicle and equipment cleaning at heavy construction projects, oil sites, mining, and excavation worksites, where cleaning time is at a premium. RipTides's urethane painted steel frame is suitable for transportation by crane or forklift, and provides open access for easy oil changes and routine maintenance. RipTide is powered by a Kubota® diesel engine equipped with speed control to reduce wear on components and save fuel. RipTide is self-contained and requires no external power, making it ideal for field operations when no utilities are available.

The Road Ahead: Truck Rental in Canada Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

The Road Ahead: Truck Rental in Canada Industry Market Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 16, 2013

The Truck Rental industry operated in a volatile environment over the past five years. The recession and its aftermath decreased activity in the truck transportation sector and markedly decreased housing construction activity, says IBISWorld industry analyst Kevin Boyland, "and as a result, demand from the commercial and consumer markets waned in 2008 and 2009." Amid the tough economic climate, many surviving trucking firms, which represent a key customer market, opted for truck leases over purchasing vehicles outright to improve flexibility and lower operational costs.

Given the economic uncertainty, industry operators had to streamline operations and improve efficiencies to maintain profitability. According to Boyland, "One strategy the industry's largest operators undertook was to maintain and expand economies of scale through mergers and acquisitions." Indeed, major player Ryder completed five industry-related acquisitions from 2009 to 2011. As consolidation within the Truck Rental industry increased, the number of industry firms declined an estimated 2.0% per year on average to 251 in 2013.

Following significant recessionary declines, a government stimulus package helped increase the number of housing starts. As more consumers moved, demand for truck rentals from this market increased. Although demand for truck rentals and leases waxed and waned, the industry received an overall net increase in demand over the five years to 2013, albeit a small one. As a result, revenue grew at a meager annualized rate of 0.4% over the period to $ 2.5 billion in 2013.

Increasing emissions and fuel-efficiency regulations are anticipated to drive demand from the commercial market going forward. Indeed, regulation aimed at lowering emissions from long-haul tractor-trailers and large pickup trucks by 23.0% by 2018 will require downstream customers to either purchase or lease new vehicles. IBISWorld expects that the majority of downstream trucking firms and fleet operators will lease their vehicles from industry operators as they seek more predictability and flexibility in their cost structures. Revenue is anticipated to grow 1.2% through 2013 as trucking companies replace their fleets with more fuel-efficient leased trucks. As this trend persists and housing construction activity recovers, revenue is forecast to grow over the five years to 2018.
