Logistics Plus was responsible for all rigging, disassembling, and transportation of the facility. With a deadline of 30 days, the Logistics Plus team completed the project in 28 days.
In total, the factory relocation used a 12-man rigging crew, 2 electricians, 3 Logistics Plus supervisors, overhead cranes, hydrolic jacks, heavy forklifts, 28 trucks, and 2,400 labor hours.
You can watch a recap of the factory relocation on the Logistics Plus YouTube Channel below.

Last night, Logistics Plus joined Erie Times-News, and many others, to celebrate and honor the accomplishments of the 2017-2018 All-Area high school student athletes at the annual Best of Varsity Cup Awards at the Bayfront Convention Center in Erie, PA. The awards banquet is a way of saying thank you to the thousands of outstanding high school athletes, coaches and fans who allow Erie Times-News (GoErie.com) to share their stories, performances and passions. As a presenting sponsor for the event, Logistics Plus had a number of employees present, as well as our special guests from the Barber National Institute. We had the additional honor of presenting Fairview’s Liam Finnecy with the Comeback Player of the Year Award in recognition of his amazing story. The evening included a nice dinner, awards ceremony, and presentation by Pittsburgh Steelers great, Hines Ward. The following video message from Jim Berlin, founder and CEO of Logistics Plus, was shown at the beginning of the ceremony. Additional photographs from the Logistics Plus Flickr Album are also included below.

The Logistics Plus Turkey Team successfully delivered 13 brewery tanks to a factory in downtown Izmir, Turkey. Dimensions for this project cargo were 9 units of 22.00m x 6.66m x 6.82m each 31 tons, and 4 units of 20.00m x 5.11m x 5.25m each 24 tons.
The project required significant engineering and precision. 13 brewery tanks; 12 nights; 4 police cars; 4 escort cars; 2 bucket trucks; and a total of 42 people all in one convoy! Traffic lights, closed-circuit televisions, and tags on the route all had to be removed, and electricity had to be cut throughout the route for safe transportation. The route was to a downtown location, so the movement required accurate planning across several divisions.
We’d like to thank all who contributed in this great project. Here is a video showcasing some photographs from this project.
