ERIE, PA (November 5, 2020) – Logistics Plus Inc., a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics, and supply chain solutions, has been aggressively expanding its warehousing and fulfillment capacity in the past year. New or relocated facilities in southern California, Chicago, northwestern Pennsylvania, and New Jersey have added over one million additional square feet to the company’s primary warehousing footprint in the United States. Logistics Plus now actively manages over two million square feet of warehousing space at over a dozen facilities across the country. Additionally, the company manages warehousing contracts for its 4PL clients at nearly 100 more locations around the world.

The recently acquired or expanded Logistics Plus warehousing facilities include:

• A new, flagship Chino, CA facility with 566,000 square feet
• Two new Erie, PA facilities with 88,000 and 130,000 square feet, respectively
• A new Bensenville, IL facility with 190,000 square feet
• An expanded Dayton, NJ facility, now with 309,000 square feet

Logistics Plus also manages primary dry storage and fulfillment warehouses in Haslet, TX; Elk Grove Village, IL; Olean, NY; and Lexington, NC. In March of this year, Transport Topics magazine named Logistics Plus number 56 on its annual list of top dry storage warehousing firms. Logistics Plus has been recognized as a top 3PL by Multichannel Merchant each of the past three years for its e-commerce fulfillment capabilities.

According to Armstrong & Associates (A&A), a leading Third-Party Logistics (3PL) market research firm, e‐commerce is the fastest-growing 3PL Market segment driving significant new demand for warehousing and fulfillment services. Retailers are increasingly relying upon 3PLs to help manage omnichannel and e‐commerce supply chain operations. U.S. 3PL e‐commerce revenues reached $43.4 billion in 2019, and A&A expects 28% growth through 2020 as e‐commerce purchases continue to expand during the pandemic and companies continue to outsource logistics activities.

“We’re seeing a lot of growth in the e-commerce side of our business, including many things we never thought we’d ever be doing, like importing, warehousing, and fulfilling millions of PPE supplies, or programming and shipping thousands of tablets and mobile phones across the country for some of our high-tech clients,” said Jim Berlin, founder & CEO of Logistics Plus. “Having another one million square feet of additional capacity gives us a lot more capability and flexibility for our current customers and positions us for additional growth going forward.”

Understanding the Price of Tire Shredding Machines

Tire shredding machines play a crucial role in the recycling and disposal of used tires, transforming them into manageable pieces for further processing. The cost of these machines varies significantly based on several factors. Here’s an overview to help you understand what influences the price and how to get the best value for your investment.
1. Factors Affecting the Price of Tire Shredding Machines
(1)Capacity:
Small-Scale Machines: These are suitable for lower volume operations and typically cost between $20,000 to $50,000. They are designed to handle smaller quantities of tires and are ideal for smaller businesses or startups.
Medium-Scale Machines: With a capacity to process moderate amounts of tires, these machines range from $50,000 to $100,000. They are suitable for medium-sized enterprises or municipal recycling programs.
Large-Scale Machines: For high-volume processing, prices can exceed $100,000, reaching up to $150,000 or more. These machines are built for industrial-scale operations and high throughput.
(2)Features and Technology:
Basic Models: Standard machines with essential features will be on the lower end of the price spectrum. They are effective but may lack advanced functionalities.
Advanced Models: Machines equipped with advanced technology, such as automated controls, enhanced safety features, and higher efficiency, will command a higher price.
(3)Quality and Brand:
Established Brands: Reputable manufacturers with a track record of reliability and performance often have higher prices due to their proven quality and support services.
New or Lesser-Known Brands: These might offer lower prices, but it’s essential to consider their performance, durability, and after-sales support.
(4)Customization and Accessories:
Standard Configurations: Basic setups without additional accessories are more affordable.
Custom Configurations: If you need specific modifications or additional components like conveyor systems, magnetic separators, or advanced control systems, the cost will increase accordingly.
(5)Location and Shipping Costs:
Domestic Purchases: Purchasing from a local supplier can reduce shipping costs and facilitate easier support.
International Purchases: If importing, be prepared for additional costs related to shipping, customs duties, and potential delays.
2. How to Get a Quote
To obtain an accurate price for a tire shredding machine tailored to your needs, consider the following steps:
(1)Determine Your Requirements: Assess your processing needs, including the volume of tires, desired output size, and any additional features or customization.
(2)Contact Suppliers: Reach out to manufacturers and suppliers with your specifications. Provide details such as capacity, desired features, and any special requirements.
(3)Request Quotations: Obtain detailed quotations from multiple suppliers to compare prices and services. Ensure that the quotes include all potential costs, including shipping and installation.
(4)Evaluate Total Cost of Ownership: Consider not just the initial purchase price but also ongoing maintenance, energy consumption, and operational costs.
(5)Check Reviews and References: Research the supplier’s reputation and review feedback from other customers to ensure reliability and support.
The price of a tire shredding machine can vary greatly based on capacity, features, brand, and customization. By carefully evaluating your needs and obtaining quotes from several suppliers, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your budget and operational requirements. Investing in a quality tire shredding machine is essential for efficient tire recycling and contributes to a sustainable recycling process.
