Tradelossa, a player in the Logistics and Specialized Hauling industry, has accomplished a remarkable feat by hauling over 400 tons of gas turbines across the border between the United States and Mexico. The intricate operation involved transporting two gas turbines to power significant Combined Cycle Plants in Mexico, showcasing Tradelossa’s prowess in heavy and oversized cargo logistics.
Efficient Operations Covering 150 Kilometers in a Single Day
The ambitious project commenced in Yuma, Arizona, USA, where Tradelossa initiated the movement of two massive gas turbines. Despite the challenging logistics, both turbines, collectively covering more than 150 kilometers, were successfully transported within a single day of operations, demonstrating Tradelossa’s commitment to efficiency and precision in its endeavors.
Destination Highlights
The first turbine, bound for the San Luis Rio Clorado combined cycle power plant, entered Mexico through the municipality in the state of Sonora. Simultaneously, the second turbine embarked on a lengthier journey to the Gonzalez Ortega Combined Cycle Power Plant in Mexicali, Zacatecas, crossing the border through Calexico, California.
Cutting-Edge Equipment and Expertise
Tradelossa employed its cutting-edge Faktor 5 girder bridge model for these operations, a state-of-the-art tool with a remarkable load capacity of up to 500 tons and an interior opening of 6.57 meters. Paired with Tradelossa’s powerful “prime mover,” a specialized truck equipped for heavy-duty tasks, the company ensured the movement adhered to the highest standards of quality and safety.
