The experience of each journey is a gross sales experience as a result of, though the journey is similar, it’s by no means the same. I’ve challenged the Grand Canyon in the heat of the summer season, the cold of winter, and fantastic things about spring and fall. The 21 mile Rim to Rim hike provides the best experience of what the canyon offers. Prepare…

Investors looking for another way to play the economic recovery may want to look at Canada’s heavy equipment dealers. Those firms are poised to scoop up big gains as mining, construction and forestry companies begin to replace their worn fleets of hulking machines. Shares of Finning (FTT-T26.000.160.62%) and Toromont (TIH-T29.87-0.11-0.37%), two of the country’s biggest dealers, touched 52-week highs in the last few days as numerous signals point to better days ahead for an industry hit hard by the recession. Both stocks received a boost this week from Caterpillar Inc. (CAT-N83.970.861.03%), the world’s largest maker of construction and mining equipment.…
MAG’s latest horizontal boring mill (HBM) is for heavy-metal milling, as well as multi-axis contouring, boring, drilling and tapping on large parts for the construction, oil field and wind industries.

The machine’s collinear ram, made from ductile iron, adds a 1m W-axis reach to the spindle’s existing 1m extension. It provides maximum rigidity for full-power cuts by minimising spindle extension. The ram’s 400 x 500mm cross section is sized for extended reach with rigid support to enable the machine to…

It looks to have the ideal dimensions for making cranes, which is what this unit of Switzerland’s Liebherr Group has been doing there for 20 years, But its original use was for shipbuilding, and the availability of welders, fabricators, platers, fitters and electricians from that declining sector was one of the attractions for Liebherr when it established the company in 1989, says Ralph Sälzer, managing director. Other reasons were the availability of official support at regional and city…

It is partially because when you purchase goods made in a specific country – it’s that country’s economy that benefits from the purchase. In these days of economic hardships in the United States, it only makes sense for Americans to buy American to help bolster our own economy. Soy candles are a terrific way to buy American. The American farmer plants dried soybeans as seeds each spring. Then when the growing season is finished, the American farmer will harvest the ripe soybeans. After…
