Tradelossa completed the transportation of a 15-unit convoy of oversized cargo from the Port of Manzanillo, Colima, to the client’s site in Monterrey, Nuevo León. The operation marked one of the most logistically demanding overland transports executed in the region during the month.
This project involved comprehensive coordination across multiple phases, including transport, lifting operations, route surveys, permits, and real-time monitoring.
One Convoy, One Delivery Window
Unlike standard multi-phase deliveries, this assignment required the simultaneous mobilization of all 15 units. The goal: reduce client downtime, minimize risk, and streamline the overall delivery schedule.
Key cargo transported included:
- Absorbers (x2): 19.27 m L × 4.29 m W × 4.41 m H | 60.64 t
- Main Condenser – Lower Column: 29.4 m L × 4.84 m W × 4.50 m H | 69.62 t
- GOX Buffer Tanks (x8): 28.75 m L × 4.55 m W × 4.50 m H | 107 t each
- LP LAR Vacuum Tanks – Horizontal (x2): 35.0 m L × 4.50 m W × 4.80 m H | 94.3 t each
The convoy also included argon columns, upper condensers, and cooling towers as part of a critical infrastructure delivery package.
Custom Equipment and Route Planning
To handle this diverse cargo load, Tradelossa deployed a range of specialized equipment including:
- Modular multi-axle hydraulic platforms
- Low-profile trailers for height-sensitive cargo
- Rigging support for secure loading and unloading
- Escort and pilot vehicles for route protection
Transport planning factored in federal road regulations, bridge clearance limits, urban traffic restrictions, and road surface conditions, ensuring a safe and compliant delivery across more than 1,300 km of highway.
Extended Scope: Project Coordination with Partner Carrier
Beyond the initial 15-unit convoy, Tradelossa also managed the logistics coordination for six additional oversized units in collaboration with a trusted transport partner. This extended scope reaffirmed Tradelossa’s role as a turnkey logistics provider for end-to-end project execution.
Additional components coordinated:
- DCAC: 25.8 m L × 4.74 m W × 4.45 m H | 54.9 t
- Water Cooling Tower: 27.27 m L × 4.64 m W × 4.47 m H | 38 t
- Main Condenser – Upper Column: 27.21 m L × 4.17 m W × 4.09 m H | 44 t
- GOX Buffer Tanks (x3): 28.75 m L × 4.55 m W × 4.50 m H | 107 t each
Safety and Compliance First
The operation adhered strictly to Mexico’s Federal Transport Regulations, with all loads transported under valid permits and with certified pilot and escort services.
Additional safety measures included:
- Pre-transport route surveys and structural checks
- On-site safety briefings and hazard assessments
- Coordination with local and federal authorities
- 24/7 monitoring of each unit’s progress across the route
Project conclusions:
✅ 15 oversized units delivered on schedule
✅ 1,300+ km covered without incidents
✅ Zero delays or penalties during execution
In industrial projects, moving oversized components requires more than strength — it demands strategy, accuracy, and proven experience.
Tradelossa delivers all three.
