Tradelossa has once again proven its expertise in heavy-load logistics by successfully completing the internal transport of multiple ultra-heavy presses using state-of-the-art self-propelled equipment.

From December to January, our team tackled the challenge of moving six massive presses, each weighing over 160 tons, as part of a facility maintenance project for one of our clients in Saltillo, Coahuila.

What made this operation stand out? The tight spaces and limited dimensions within the facility required precision and innovation. That’s where Tradelossa’s self-propelled equipment, combined with modular solutions, came into play. These advanced tools ensured a smooth and efficient move, even in the most confined areas.

Stay tuned for more updates on how Tradelossa continues to push the boundaries of specialized heavy-load transportation!

Tradelossa Completes the hauling of 44 Train sets for the “Tren Maya” Project

We are thrilled to announce that the story of Tradelossa’s involvement in transporting the wagons for the Tren Maya has come to a successful conclusion.

Here’s a brief timeline and overview of our team’s accomplishments throughout this significant project.

On July 5, 2024, Tradelossa successfully wrapped up one of its most noteworthy projects of the past year—the “Tren Maya” project—a series of railcar movements dedicated to personnel transport.

The journey began in June 2023 when wagons arrived directly from China at the Port of Manzanillo. Our team handled the reception of six wagons and transported them to their first destination in Mexico: Ciudad Sahagún, Hidalgo, where they were adapted for final use.

In October 2023, once the first wagons were fully modified, we initiated constant transportation efforts to the final destination: Cancún, Quintana Roo.

By the end of 2023, Tradelossa had successfully transported 12 wagons, pausing operations until February 2024.

In February, we resumed with the scheduled movement of an additional 12 wagons, which were delivered over the following months.

Upon the completion of this batch in April, our clients entrusted us with an additional 28 wagons, a testament to the efficiency and high performance of our team.

On July 5, we loaded the final four wagons, expecting the last journey to be completed within a week. This marks the conclusion of the project, with a total of 44 wagons transported, equivalent to moving 2,200 tons across 54,252 kilometers.

Wagon Dimensions:

Length: 23 meters
Width: 3.13 meters
Height: 4.5 meters
Weight: 50 tons

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.

Tradelossa recently performed the hauling a 245 tons transformer, Parting from the northern state of Nuevo León, Mexico, and delivered at one of the most important wind farms within the state of Coahuila, Mexico.

Our story begins in April of 2021, Tradelossa had the request of storing a transformer inside their installations at Apodaca, Nuevo Leon.

The cargo’s dimensions included 10.37 meters in length, 4.08 meters of width, 5.18 meters of height, and a total weight of 245 tons.

Tradelossa stored and secured the cargo for about 5 months, however, for this project’s scope hauling and rigging services were also requested, and so during the next month’s Tradelossa carry out with multiple visits at site and the different key points of the selected route.

Preparing the terrain and implementing multiple land and road modifications within the windfarm’s territory in order to prepare the installations for the cargo’s arrival, setting up a full program, permitting, and schedule for the Cargo’s delivery and rigging operations.

The component was transported using a 4.5 meter 12- axle + Deck hydraulic Configuration, (Six axles on front of the Deck and six axles on the back of the Deck).

This configuration allowed our team to perform the transportation of the 245 tons transformer through the northern states of Mexico, traveling 284 kilometers from point of departure to site point’s main access.

During our previous visit to the site point, Tradelossa engineering team realized that to access and carry out the cargo throughout the windfarm’s territory. The piece had to pass through 15 kms of steep terrain that could compromise the piece’s integrity.

With that in mind, our team of professionals designated Six Prime Movers for this sole project to perform the titanic task of moving uphill 245 tons throughout 15 kms of both irregular and steep terrain.

Once the cargo arrived at its designated point, our rigging team carefully unloaded the component and prepared the piece for its future installation and use in their installations.

With about 300 kms traveled all services and operations were executed within the period of three and a half days, making this project a complete success.

Accomplishing all our client’s expectations, and accomplishing all our company’s High-Quality standards.
