Personnel transport

Daily crew transport for companies, contractors, work sites, clinics and schools, with one person in charge of the whole operation.

  • Fixed routes, shift rotations and crew changes, and one-off trips
  • Minibus rental with driver for companies and events
  • Drivers with a professional license and an on-board trip log per unit
  • CNRT and AMT permits in force, so interprovincial trips to Jujuy and Tucumán are covered

Mining logistics and high-altitude operations

More than a decade working in the Puna: crew to mine camps, cargo to the salt flats and on-road mechanical support above 4,000 m (13,000 ft). We know the mine-site entry requirements and the road from Salta to San Antonio de los Cobres, Pocitos and Tolar Grande.

  • Crew transport to mine camps and shift rotations

  • 4x4 pickups fitted out for mine-site entry: roll cage, buggy whip, strobe beacon, fire extinguishers, a second spare wheel and snow chains

  • On-road mechanical support with our own crew and equipment

Refrigerated freight and warehousing

Frozen and chilled goods at controlled temperature from origin to destination, and our own warehouse with a cold room in Salta city. We can run the whole leg or only the part you need: storage, consolidation or distribution.

  • Refrigerated trucks with refrigeration units, and an insulated body with rails for half carcasses
  • 4x4 refrigerated truck for gravel roads and high altitude
  • Warehouse with a truck yard and access for a full-size truck
  • Temperature log during transit

Towing and roadside assistance

Vehicle recovery and transport with a hydraulic flatbed tow truck, in the city and on the highway, for fleet operators, insurers and private owners. We handle it end to end: hookup, transport and delivery at the workshop you name.

  • Flatbed tow truck with a 7.5-ton payload
  • Cars, pickups, minibuses, road machinery and damaged units
  • Salta city, the highways of northwest Argentina and mountain access roads
  • Recoveries far from anywhere: we carry our own welder and generator
  • Remito (Argentine goods-in-transit note) and Factura A for insurers and fleets

Workshop services for third-party fleets

Our workshop was set up to keep our own fleet running and today it also works for other companies' fleets. Electrical and injection diagnostics, heavy-vehicle mechanics on Sprinter, Iveco and Agrale, and repairs most workshops send out.

  • Electrical and injection fault diagnosis, wire by wire
  • Engines, gearboxes, front ends, brakes and suspension
  • Refrigeration units and climate control
  • Preventive maintenance under contract for fleets
  • Inspection pits, a truck yard and room for large units

Tours and private transfers

Private transfers and day trips on the classic routes of Salta and Jujuy: Cafayate, Cachi, Quebrada de Humahuaca, Purmamarca, Salinas Grandes and Iruya. For travel agencies, groups and families, with drivers who know the road.

  • Trips of one day or several
  • 19-seat minibuses and 4x4 pickups for gravel roads and altitude

Why work with us

Fewer parties involved, fewer things to go wrong

In-house fleet and workshop

We repair our own units with our own mechanics. Less time off the road, and fewer surprises for the client.

High-altitude experience

Gravel roads, salt flats and camps above 4,000 m (13,000 ft). We know what it takes to get there and, above all, to get back.

One person accountable

You deal with the same person from the quote to the delivery. There is no call center.

Based in Salta

We have worked in Salta and northwest Argentina since 2010, from the provincial capital to the Puna.

Safety

Safety is the condition for the work, not an extra

When you carry people, or enter a mine site, safety is what makes the work possible at all. These are the practices we hold to every day.

Units fitted out for mine-site entry

Buggy whip, strobe beacon, fire extinguishers, a second spare wheel and snow chains on the units assigned to that work.

On-board trip log per unit

Every trip is recorded.

Incident reports signed by the driver

Every incident is documented, without exception.

Zero tolerance

Alcohol, drugs and tobacco on board are grounds for immediate dismissal.

Documented preventive maintenance

In our own workshop, not subcontracted.

Drivers with a professional license

Current medical fitness certificate (psicofísico) and workers' compensation insurance (ART) in force.

Insurance in force

Third-party liability and cargo or passenger cover, depending on the service.

About us

A family-owned company from Salta

Lausof is a family-owned company based in Salta. We started in 2010 with passenger transport and in 2017 added towing, roadside assistance and general freight. Since then we have done all of it: school transport, day trips, distribution, cold chain and mining work in the Puna.

Today we focus on a handful of services we know how to do well: towing, personnel, cold chain and the workshop. They are run by the same people as always, drivers and mechanics who know the units and the roads by heart.

The phone is answered by someone from the company, not a call center.
