Ironclad has given hands a new lease with their high-tech approach to glove design. Ironclad gloves are made to protect workers' hands better than other work gloves, without feeling clumsy the way so many work gloves can. The first thing we noticed about these gloves is that they're tailored to fit the natural curve hands have in a resting position, rather than being cut straight, so when the hand isn't working, it can actually relax without the glove pulling the fingers in an uncomfortable direction. The palm of this general-utility glove is made of Amara, a synthetic material that mimics the resilience, grip, and comfort of suede while remaining machine-washable and resistant to water damage. High-wear areas are reinforced with tough DuraClad fabric, making these the toughest grip gloves we've ever worn. The fingertips are also reinforced, yet we had no problem with dexterous tasks like picking up coins. We also like the cut of the cuff on these gloves. It comes in tight to the wrist to prevent dirt or other materials from pouring in. Why so many other gloves have gaping cuff designs is a mystery. While the gloves themselves won't be damaged by water, they won't keep your hands dry for long if you're working in really wet conditions. But that can be said of most work gloves, and everything considered, Ironclad gloves are some of the toughest, most comfortable, and easiest-to-work-in gloves we've tried.

Here are some more information for Heavy Medium:
Heavy Medium

Commercial landscape trucks are generally categorized by weight and fall under three main classes: lightweight trucks, medium range trucks and heavy duty vehicles. All three of these classes are capable of doing landscaping projects, but you may find a specific category truck more suitable for particular jobs than others.

If you are considering various types of used landscaping trucks for sale, the type of truck you ultimately buy will largely depend on the projects in which you plan to use it. New commercial landscape equipment can be quite expensive and if investing in new models is beyond your budget, you should look into used landscape trucks for sale to provide you with the vehicle you need for your purposes.

Lightweight Used Landscaping Trucks

Light trucks such as mini-flat bed trucks and pickups are often used for landscape maintenance purposes as the beds of these vehicles provides sufficient space to carry lawn mowers, edgers and other small landscaping tools used in maintaining lawns and property. Most flatbed models also come with standard side door gates, which enable the loading and unloading of landscape equipment and other supplies to be accomplished with relative ease. In addition, it is often not mandatory to receive a special permit to drive these type vehicles.

Medium Weight Landscape Trucks

Medium trucks offer the most versatility of the three classes of landscape vehicles. These models are usually used to transport landscape equipment used for installing sprinkler systems, gardening supplies, potted, and boxed plants. Trucks of this nature often come with special fittings to enable the carrying of sprinkler related supplies in an organized and efficient manner, i.e. sprinkler parts, connectors and sprinkler installation tools. Some trucks are equipped with a small section of flatbed space used for carrying soil, sand or gravel. Additional features include an 8-cylinder gas or diesel engine and the fitting of a heavy-duty hitch to pull trailers or mini-tractors when the need arises.

Heavy Weight Landscape Trucks

The last category of commercial landscape vehicle is the heavy weight class. Powered by large 8-cylinder diesel engines they are capable of carrying a complete load of equipment and soil. They can also pull a large sized trailer with skip loader. Each model comes fitted with a strong well built flatbed, which can be modified for enclosure to carry soil or can be left with the standard side gates for carrying tools, landscape equipment and supplies.

Be sure to consider these options and how you will use them before commit to investing in any particular used landscaping trucks for sale.

Gm May Sell Medium-duty Truck Business

General Motors Corp. may sell its medium-duty truck business as it concentrates on making a profit from building cars and light trucks. "We are considering options for our medium-duty truck business to better position the unit for growth," GM spokeswoman Melisa Tezanos said Wednesday. She wouldn't comment on potential purchasers. The largest American automaker does not break out the unit's financial results.

In 2006, the unit manufactured about 40,800 Chevrolet Kodiak, GMC TopKick and Isuzu T-Series models. These vehicles are primarily used as dump trucks and delivery vehicles. Additionally, the Flint Journal reported this week that Navistar International Corp. may be interested in the Flint-based unit. The latter employs about 500 people. Roy Wiley, a spokesman for Warrenville, Ill.-based Navistar, declined to comment.

"This deal makes so much sense, I hope it gets done," Bear Stearns analyst Peter Nesvold said Wednesday. Nesvold estimated that the medium-duty truck business has annual revenue of about $2 billion and is worth $450 million to $500 million.

If Navistar were the buyer, the new production could add 50 cents to $1 a share to that company's earnings, wrote Nesvold in a report Tuesday. Nesvold, who is based in New York, rates GM shares "outperform" and Navistar shares "peer perform."

Still recuperating…

The Detroit automaker has sold over $16 billion in assets in the past couple of years to pay operating costs as it posted net losses of $12.4 billion. Chief Financial Officer Fritz Henderson said April that GM is still reviewing options for assets, including the Allison Transmission unit in Indianapolis, which are outside its main automotive operations.

To stress, the Detroit automaker is currently under pressure to boost sales of cars and light trucks in the United States after Toyota Motor Corp. outsold GM worldwide last quarter for the first time ever. The automaker needs the help of Green Filters to sift the mismanagement

This year, GM announced its target global sales of 9.2 million cars and trucks, while Toyota expects to sell 9.34 million. GM's asset sales include 51 percent of its finance unit to a group led by Cerberus Capital Management LP, increasing $13 billion over three years, and stakes in Suzuki Motor Corp., Isuzu Motors Ltd. and Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., creeping up $3 billion.

GM's cash, marketable securities and funds available from a retiree health care fund plummet to $24.7 billion at the end of March from $26.4 billion at the end of December as the automaker made a $1 billion payout to GMAC and another $1 billion for a convertible bond payment.

On producing commercial fuel cell vehicles

GM announced its plan to manufacture commercial fuel vehicle like the Volt in a span of four years.

Larry Burns, GM's vice president for research and development, said the next step is to continue work on production engineering of the Chevrolet Volt fuel cell E-flex system, which contains the same basic fuel cell, battery and electric drive combination as the Sequel.

The decision to go ahead with production engineering of the Volt -- with a plug-in, gasoline engine version as well as the fuel cell variant -- was recently firmed up."We are now entering into a mainstream vehicle production process that typically lasts three to four years," Burns added. "We are no longer in the skunkworks stage."

"What makes this different is we're on real roads with real speeds," Burns noted. "We've taken the world's most technologically advanced vehicle on a 300-mile road trip to show we've overcome a big hurdle toward commercializing our fuel cell vehicles -- achieving the driving range expected by today's consumers.

He added, "Sequel and GM's other fuel cell vehicles address these very real concerns pointing the way to a new energy future a future in which hydrogen is a common energy currency for our vehicles in which hydrogen and electricity become interchangeable energy carriers in which both are created from diverse, and largely renewable, energy resources."

End of Sequel

In the New York test, the automaker put its two existing Sequel development vehicles on a cross-country run that included numerous hills and temperatures in the mid-80s. Notwithstanding the challenges, both vehicles completed the run with only a few precautionary stops to check on temporary fault readings from sub-systems. The vehicles each used less than seven kilograms of compressed hydrogen and averaged an equivalent of 43 mpg, impressive for large bodied SUV-style vehicles that weigh 5300 pounds.

However, the Sequel has no plug-in feature and can only drive for a few miles on stored energy once the hydrogen tanks are empty. The test vehicles also carry a host of technologies, such as steer-and brake-by-wire controls instead of standard hydraulics, wheel hub motors and a lighter weight aluminum structure.

Many of the same engineers and technicians who developed the Sequel are now on the Volt team. The Sequel gets a power boost with the help of a pack of lithium-ion batteries, the same as those found in computers and cell phones.

Engineers behind the Sequel said they have managed a 30 percent increase in energy efficiency since September. Chris Borroni-Bird, GM's director of advanced technology vehicle concepts, said the Sequel will be indicative of future automobiles, which will benefit from advancements in electronics rather than mechanics. "We haven't changed any of the hardware (since September)," Borroni-Bird said. "We've improved the software."

Top ad exec to depart

Separately, GM chief North American advertising executive is leaving the company after just over a year on the job, GM said on Thursday. Mike Jackson, one of the highest-ranking African-American executives at GM, will leave June 15 divulged the automaker in a statement. Jackson oversaw unprecedented change since taking over advertising for the automaker’s eight brands and its corporate image.

The automaker has uprooted several long-help ad accounts amid an industrywide shakeup in automotive advertising. He also created GM Style, a celebrity fashion show help on the banks of the Detroit River, to lead into this year's North American International Auto Show.

"Throughout his tenure, Mike has contributed to GM's improved product image, and brought a creative approach to GM's market presence," according to the GM statement from GM marketing chief Mark LaNeve. The managers and support staff who reported to Jackson will now report to LaNeve.
