ELOKON Reveals Trends & Tips on Global Forklift Safety for ASSP Safety 2024 Conference
Leader in automated forklift safety and fleet management systems will feature ELOshield proximity detection system and. ELOfleet fleet management solution along with recent material handling safety trends in European and global warehouses in seminar by CEO Alex Glasmacher

ATLANTA—August 6, 2024—ELOKON, Inc., a leading innovator in automated forklift safety and fleet management systems, today unveiled emerging trends in forklift safety along with tips on how to ensure workforce safety in dynamic warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities. These trends and tips will be discussed in depth in ELOKON’s booth (#1564)—and a seminar by ELOKON CEO Alex Glasmacher—at the American Society of Safety Professionals’ Safety 2024 Conference and Exposition August 7-9 in Denver.
Forklift accidents resulting in serious injuries total 34,900 annually, according to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), with 95 people on average seriously injured every day and one person killed every four days in the US alone.

“While protecting employees is—or should be—a key priority for any company, far too many forklift-related injuries and fatalities continue to plague the workplace, in large part due to human error—and that must change,” said Mark Stanton, president & general manager of ELOKON. “Fortunately, as warehouses and manufacturing plants become more dynamic and automated, new technology advancements are emerging to offer safety professionals and operation managers new ways of protecting their employees and valuable equipment alike.”

The modern advancements highlighted in ELOKON’s new article include:
• Growing use of automation, including autonomous forklifts
• Rising use of artificial intelligence
• Advancements in sensor technology
• Emergence of wearable safety devices

As these trends are put into practice, companies can further benefit by establishing and following safety procedures/rules within their facilities, including improving visibility within the facility; placing floor markings to mark hazards and high traffic areas or pedestrian walkways; conducting pre-operational checklists and maintenance; and implementing the wearable safety devices and remote fleet analysis tools to increase fleet data visibility to monitor fleet status and operation times anywhere in the world. More details about these rules can be found here.
ELOKON to showcase safety and management systems at Safety 2024
ELOKON will also showcase the ELOshield forklift safety and pedestrian detection system at Safety 2024, ELOshield is compatible with all forklifts regardless of vendor or age, as well as ELOfleet, ELOKON’s cloud-based forklift fleet management solution. ELOshield and ELOfleet are used by many of the world’s largest companies to make their facilities safer and more efficient.

ELOKON CEO to Outline Current Safety Trends in Global/European Material Handling & Safety
During a seminar on August 8 at 4:15 p.m. at Safety 2024, Alex Glasmacher will expand on material handling safety trends by introducing how they apply to the European Union, outlining relevant safety solutions and technologies. He will focus on how sensor data is enabling new products and how to manage all material handling equipment (MHE) on one platform to facilitate safety within the workplace.

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.
