How many cell phones and tablets do you own? Most families have a cell phone for every adult and the older kids, plus a few tablets to boot. When you add up how much all these devices are worth or how much it would cost to replace them, it can add up to a small fortune. It makes sense to spend just a little more to protect these expensive devices with protective gear. Here are a few accessories you should have for all your iPhones, iPads and other mobile devices.

Case or Cover

First and foremost, the best protection for your phone or tablet is the case. This outside cover is designed specifically for each make and model to hug the phone or tablet. You will find cases that are made of different materials, from hard plastic to thin rubber. Many cases are more decorative than protective, but all help keep your phone from exterior damage.  Even cell phone skins help reduce scratching and adds some cushion from impact damage.

Screen Protector

To minimize the chance of screen scratches and cracks, screen protectors are your best option. Almost everyone needs protection for their screens to keep them working properly. Although there is no protector that is indestructible, this gear can reduce the instances of damage.

Insurance or Local Repair?

Phone insurance for damage once was the way to go. But now with all the apps and personalization that goes into your phone, do you really want to mail off your phone for a few weeks if you get a cracked screen or water damage? It is better just to bring your cell phone for local repair store if it needs it so you can get it back the same day. Most malls and shopping centers now have mobile device repair and accessory stores to help you protect your expensive devices.

When it comes to the manufacturing industry, every aspect that goes into creating your products affects your bottom line, including your conveyor belts. A poorly designed belt can cost your business product loss or downtime, all impacting your bottom line. Whether you a large manufacturer or a small startup, every penny matters. Is it time to upgrade your conveyor belt to help reduce costs and increase profits?

Signs it Is Time to Upgrade Your Conveyor Belt

Keeping your product moving is imperative to mass production. So when any of your conveyor belts breakdown, malfunction or lose product, it can cost your business plenty. While buying a new conveyor may seem like a large expense, it may increase productivity, making it a wise investment. Here are signs a new conveyor belt is the best choice for improving your bottom line:

• High repair costs. Does it seem like your conveyor belt is being repaired more than it is moving? An aging conveyor can nickel and dime your business with ongoing repairs. It is better to cut your losses and start with a new conveyor.
• Product loss. Is your conveyor not ideal for your product type? If you changed packaging or bought a used conveyor, it may not be the best type for your business or product. Getting the right conveyor for your product can have a large impact on your productivity levels.
• Safety and efficiency issues. Some older equipment is poorly designed for safety or energy efficiency. Just upgrading your belt can reduce energy costs and injury liability.

If you are ready to upgrade your conveyor belt, trust a company that specializes in producing, customizing, installing and servicing commercial conveyor belts.  The right belt can make a big difference in your bottom line.

Metal stairs are an excellent investment for commercial properties. Apartment buildings, manufacturing outfits and many other types of business prefer the durability and easy maintenance that metal staircases provide. However, even steel does need some maintenance, including repairs. But when it is more than just a staircase repair that you need to keep your commercial property safe? Here are some signs that you may need a complete metal staircase replacement.

• Multiple repairs. Have your metal staircases needed repairs constantly over the last few years? If the welds on corners are beginning to give and your treads are starting to rust, it may be time to consider replacement. Fixing the stairs piece by piece will cost you more in the long run, plus eventually you will still need to pay for a replacement.
• Injuries. Have you already had an employee or customer injure themselves on the stairs due to disrepair? You cannot afford to have a large liability like a crumbling staircase in your business. A new staircase is a drop in the bucket compared to a liability lawsuit.
• Aesthetics. If your metal staircase is used by customers, you don’t want an old, rusty staircase representing your business. If the integrity of the staircase is compromised, it is time to replace; however, if it looks bad yet is still viable, a professional coating can make it look great again and extend the life of your stairs.

Whether you decide to repair or replace, you need quality metal fabricator. Make sure to choose a company that specializes in commercial metal staircases to ensure you get the best quality and safety built into your metal stairs.

Even people who have never played golf in their life can be happy owners of a golf cart. Although originally created for this popular sport, the golf cart has evolved into a useful personal vehicle for many other reasons. Although there are many commercial uses for these carts at airports, parks and other businesses, there are many reasons to use these carts personally. Here are five great uses and reasons to own a personal golf cart.

1. Neighborhood traveler. Do you live in a close community? Golf carts are excellent for close-by transportation in your neighborhood. Many carts can be converted for legal road use.
2. Special events. If you host large events on your property, a golf cart is a great way to transport guests to the action.
3. Disabilities. If you have a bad knee, arthritis or other health conditions, golf carts are a good way to keep you mobile and active.  You can bring them with you on camping trips and other adventures that may involve more walking then you can handle.
4. Property maintenance. Those with large properties like farms are a perfect fit for a golf or utility cart. This gives you a fast, easy way to move around your property.
5. Other sports.  These carts may be named for golf but they are used in other sports too. Skeet shooting and hunters can benefit from the private ownership of their own golf cart.

There are many different sizes and types of golf carts to meet your personal needs. Stop by a local golf cart dealer to check out the options available – there is a model right for almost any need or budget.

Winter can bring high moisture levels that can cause erosion on your property. This is especially true for lots that contain hills and slopes. When the soil erodes, it can ruin your landscaping efforts and even damage your home. One of the most affordable and aesthetically pleasing options to stabilize your property is with the addition of a paver retaining wall.

Benefit of Using Pavers for Retaining Walls

When it comes to stabilizing soil, you need a solid material for your retaining wall. While wood and natural stone boulders can both be used for erosion controlling walls, there are some benefits of using pavers, including:

• Durable. Pavers will last for many years, unlike wood that can rot when in contact with soil.
• Strength. Like natural stone boulders, pavers are strong enough to handle the heavy load of slope erosion, offering a solid foundation to stabilize your property. Many pavers are interlocking, offering even more stability.
• Affordable. Pavers can be much less expensive than some other forms of stone. You can chose from marble or travertine pavers or man-made options like concrete or brick.
• Beautiful. Pavers create a uniform, beautiful retaining wall that is also functional. There are many different sizes, shapes and colors to choose from.

If you want to protect your property from erosion damage this winter, consider adding a new retaining wall. There are many different styles and options that can add curb appeal to your home while adding erosion protection. Talk to your local contractor that offers paver retaining wall construction to discuss the best options for your home and budget before those winter storms start rolling in.
