Chicagoland rigging and machinery moving through the nation's busiest rail and industrial hub. Industrial rigging, machinery moving, and plant relocation — our own crews and rigging gear — for everything heavy, fragile, and hard to move in Chicago, IL.
Badass Logistics handles industrial rigging, machinery moving, and plant relocation in Chicago, IL and across the IL manufacturing & rail market — with our own rigging crews and equipment. When a machine is too heavy, too tight to reach, or just too important to get wrong, we bring the gear and the plan to move it safely: surveyed, rigged, set, and leveled to spec.
Tell us what's moving in Chicago and where it's going — we'll put the right crew and the right gear on it. From a single machine to a full plant relocation, you get one accountable team from the first measurement to the final set. Every kind of rigging is on the table: MRI and medical equipment, crane lifts, millwright installation, and data center work included.
When equipment leaves Chicago — for another plant across the metro, a sister facility on the I-55, I-80, I-90 and I-94 corridors, or another state — we run it as project freight: crated or prepped on site, moved through our licensed broker and carrier partners, and set by the same crew at the destination.
