Tradelossa is a proudly Mexican company that’s been in the logistics industry for 50 years, standing out for its world class quality standards and services. Specializing in heavy and oversized cargo, Tradelossa also offers rigging, M.R.O. supply chain and forwarding solutions all over Mexico, USA, and Central America. Overcoming every challenge, employing the experience and work discipline of its personnel, and making use of state-of-the-art equipment for the handling and transportation of pieces with unique weight and dimensions.

Following the events of the last 3 years, the automotive industry’s production lines are becoming more and more demanding. With the arrival of new and groundbreaking electric vehicles, Mexico, as one of the world’s leading auto parts manufacturers and exporters has found itself In need of intensifying its efforts in order to comply with the manufacturing demands set by the evolving market.

Tradelossa was invited to participate on a pretty special task: The full-scale relocation of an automotive electric battery manufacturing plant, making over 100 trips in a 9-day timeframe.

Within 24 hours of the request, the Tradelossa team went to their client’s facilities and got down to work and began the transportation of the entire equipment, machinery, and material from the existing plant to their new facilities through a 2-kilometer route on a heavily used highway.

This large-scale project would not be an easy challenge. For its success it was necessary to create a continuous transportation and unloading network with 24-hour availability over 9 days.

Even with the Holidays ahead Tradelossa team developed a game plan, starting operations on December 23 2022, and concluding on New Year’s Eve. Making use of the proper equipment and maintaining control and flow of all units to support the entire project, more than 50 units arrived at site, some of them, lowboy, dry vans, and platforms. Each unit was customized by Tradelossa engineering team to fit safely and easily into the various cramped areas in both plants.

One of the key steps to ensure the success of this challenging project was the application of operational guidelines with key staff whose main task was to guide and instruct each member involved in the different stages of loading, transporting, unloading, and storing parts over the course of more than 80 completed trips.

“Each part we hauled had unique characteristics that differentiated it from the others, therefore, each trip we made was unique with unique obstacles, no doubt it was our flexibility and adaptability that allowed us to complete so many trips in such a limited time frame”. Expressed Tradelossa head of field operations just a few hours after celebrating a new year with the competition of this ambitious project.

The achievement of this logistical feat led to the upgrade and capacity increase of one of the first and main electric car assembly plants in Mexico, strengthening the automotive sector within the territory, allowing the creation of jobs, and adding efforts to the fight for the conservation of our planet with the generation and use of clean energy.

Although the year is almost over, Tradelossa continues its efforts in the different projects for the end of the year, this time we share with you the Roll-On maneuvers carried out to the port of Altamira, Tamaulipas.

Starting with the arrival of a 240-ton transformer, measuring 9 meters long, 4 meters wide and 4. 4 meters high.

Departing from Monterrey city in Nuevo León to the port of Altamira, Tamaulipas.

From the moment the component arrived at the port, our team immediately assembled our Gantry system for heavy maneuvers.

Once the assembly was done, we unload from the platform, reloading the transformer to a vehicle configuration more suitable for the task at hand.

With the arrival of the barge to port, the reassembly of the Gantry system on the barge began, taking the transformer to the barge and unloading it making use of the Gantry system.

Maneuvers like these are considered high risk due to the hard work and much planning prior to each movement of the component once it’s over the barge.

We thank all the staff involved in the project for their high level of coordination and expertise at all times.

Tradelossa performed two high-risk rigging operations for one of our main clients in Silao, Guanajuato.

October 2019, Tradelossa took on the task of completing one of the most difficult rigging operations in the last few months.

The rigging consisted of dismantling of two crowns from the upper part of two hydraulic presses at a height of 10. 6 meters above ground level.

The first crown had 6. 60 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2. 60 meters high with a total weight of 220 metric tons.

Similarly, the dimensions of the second dismantling crown were 6. 60 meters long, 3 meters wide and 2. 80 meters high, with a total weight of 180 metric tons.

With 400 tons loaded in total and making use of our Gantry system with the capacity to maneuver up to 550 tons, the Tradelossa team completed this new challenge with zero accidents and no damage to the pieces during the whole process, reaching once again the highest quality standards within the industry.

For the realization of such a task, it was required a very high degree of coordination with all our rigging team since working at that height was considered a high-risk operation.
