TITAN TIRE
All-Seasons Skid Steer Tire
Building upon the successful all-seasons TGS2 radial motor grader tire concept, Titan developed a new bias size for skid steers. Geared toward snow removal and landscaping, its open-shoulder tread design and full-tread depth across its surface provide superior traction in snow, ice, and mud. The siping on the lugs provides an additional biting edge that allows the tire to perform where others would struggle, especially in foul weather. The TGS2 for skid steers is available in the standard 12-16.5 size. For more, visit www.titan-intl.com.
MITRI PRODUCTS
EZ Slab
Mitri Products offers a system that makes concrete finishing easy. EZ Slab is a sturdy, aluminum system that functions as carrier, washing station, drying rack, and storage system. A powder-coated compact rack that stores its portable components may be bolted to the bed of a truck or van. Heavy-duty spill-proof tubs attach to the sides of any standard wheelbarrow to safely transport the necessary water. A perforated center piece then snaps into the tubs, creating a flat staging and washing area.
