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.

We at Tradelossa work hard and transform every challenge into an achievement, during the month of May we were in charge of the hauling of two oversized and ultra-heavy presses.

Received within the port of Ensenada, Baja California, our customers approached us with the goal of moving these two ultra heavy components through the state of Baja California, departing from the port of Ensenada to their facilities within the city of Tijuana.

Making use of a 12-axle+deck vehicle configuration, both pieces were successfully transported to their destination.

Our engineering team realized prior to the start of the project that the main route’s challenge was the fact that the port of Ensenada was not designed for the regular reception of oversized components, therefore, the width of the exits through the booths was smaller compared to the cargo’s dimensions.

With the help of two of our trucks, Tradelossa decided to make a rounding maneuver through a dirt road properly adapted for the safe crossing of the pieces and successfully crossing the booth inside the port of Ensenada.

Arriving safely and complying with the tight deadlines and schedule established by our customers, Tradelossa arrived at our customer’s facilities in the city of Tijuana, Baja California with both components.

Dimensions:
8.29 meters long, 4.97 meters wide, 3.82 meters high with a total weight of 230 tons.

8.94 meters long, 4.26 meters wide, 3.6 meters high. With a total weight of 165 tons.

For almost a year Tradelossa realized the transportation tasks of 33 Coolers for the energy project ”Empalme” through American and Mexican territory, reaching more than 23 thousand miles and loaded more than 1500 tons during the last eight months.

Tradelossa’s scope within the project began in the city of Laredo, Texas where Tradelossa received 33 Coolers throughout the year, performing cargo rigging operations within the United States for their border crossing into Mexican territory, where they would travel to their destination in the coastal city of Panuco, Veracruz.

However, the task for our engineers at Tradelossa began much earlier, because, for the successful conclusion of the project, the parts would need to go through a series of rigging operations, so Tradelossa assigned a team dedicated to the project with our engineers and our staff specialized in rigging operations.

The task of this team would be to prepare and condition, in collaboration with our clients, each of the 33 components that would cross the border to the Mexican state of Veracruz.

Once properly modified and making use of two 120-ton cranes together with a three-rocker system and spreader bar, our rigging team would perform the transfer of the 33 pieces to our trucks with an 8-axle hydraulic configuration, leaving the components ready for their transfer to the border and then to Mexican territory.

Departing in a convoy of 5 to 6 components per trip and with such trips lasting up to almost two weeks between the border crossing and transfer within Mexico.

Tradelossa was in charge of the transportation and safe arrival of the 33 Coolers to their destination point on the Gulf of Mexico side in the city of Panuco, Veracruz where each piece was taken and received at our customer’s facilities where they would be unloaded and the equipment released to repeat the process and the trip again.

Throughout the project, Tradelossa faced multiple challenges. During the entire process, our team approached local authorities to schedule the crossing of the pieces through the most populated areas along which our selected route marked us.

To ensure the integrity of all the members involved in the operations, it was necessary to follow a rigorous system of measures to avoid contagion and exposure to Covid-19.

This meant the exchange and delivery of the necessary paperwork for the border crossing in a digital way, it also meant constant monitoring of our team of experts residing in Laredo, Texas because it was their responsibility to review and maintain each piece prior to the border crossing between the United States and Mexico.

It was in this way that Tradelossa completed one of its most important projects of the year, coordinating operations in two different countries and adapting to the necessary health and safety processes, successfully concluding yet another project.
