Data center equipment arrives heavy, dense, and on a schedule that the rest of the build depends on. Across the Dallas metro we rig the electrical and cooling plant into new halls and live facilities — generators into yards, switchgear into electrical rooms, cooling onto roofs, and racks onto raised floors.
Quick answer: Badass Logistics provides data center rigging in Dallas, TX and the surrounding metro. We rig generators, UPS modules and batteries, switchgear, PDUs, CRAH and chiller units, and loaded racks into new builds and live data centers — on routes and schedules set around the facility. Our crews work across Dallas and nearby Texas metros, and moves between facilities run as project freight under the same plan — usually quoted the same day. Call (307) 284-1332.
A data center is built around equipment that weighs more per square foot than almost anything else in a commercial building. Generators, UPS battery strings, and switchgear lineups have to land precisely on their pads and in their rooms, and in a live facility they have to do it without disturbing the halls that are already running. Around Dallas, the route, the floor loading, and the timing are planned before the first truck arrives.
Badass Logistics rigs the heavy plant for data centers — outside, by crane or by jacking and skidding, and inside on skates and air-ride. Electrical connection, battery commissioning, and testing stay with your electrical contractor and the OEM; we set what they connect. For the generators and transformers themselves, see transformer and generator rigging. How to move a data center →
Dallas's data center market includes QTS Irving, Equinix Dallas Infomart, and CyrusOne Carrollton. New halls there arrive as a sequence of heavy deliveries — generators, switchgear, UPS, cooling — and each one has to land on its pad or in its room before the next trade can start.
Plenty of Dallas, TX work — manufacturing & distribution, DFW freight corridor — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same data center rigging crews through these TX and regional markets:
Colocation halls, hyperscale campuses, and enterprise data rooms around Dallas are built on the same heavy electrical and cooling plant. The equipment we rig includes:
The power behind those halls is local too: Oncor Electric Delivery, Vistra Corp HQ (Irving), and Atmos Energy HQ. Substation and transformer work for a new campus often runs alongside the hall itself. Outside the dedicated campuses, enterprise data rooms sit in the metro's wider building stock — dFW Airport, the downtown and Uptown office towers, the Southwestern Medical District and the Las Colinas corporate campuses carry the large chiller plant — where every delivery shares a dock and an elevator with a working building.
Standby generators and fuel systems set in yards and enclosures across the Dallas metro.
UPS modules, battery cabinets, switchgear, and PDUs moved into electrical rooms across the Dallas metro.
Cooling units, chillers, and condensers set inside and on roofs across the Dallas metro.
Loaded racks and cabinets moved on air-ride within live halls across the Dallas metro.
Plenty of Dallas jobs start and finish on one floor. The rest have to travel — to a new building across the metro, a sister plant down I-10, I-20, I-35 and I-45, or a facility in another state. We don't hand that part off. It runs as project freight inside the same plan: machines crated or prepped on site, loads sequenced to the rig-out, transport through our licensed broker and carrier partners with dedicated capacity for bigger moves, and our crew waiting at the destination to set it.

Photos of the equipment, its nameplate, and the path out of the building save a site visit on smaller Dallas jobs. For bigger moves we walk both sites before we price anything.

Most Dallas jobs don't stop at one service. The crew that rigs a machine out is the crew that manages the move and sets it back down — so you're dealing with one company from the disconnect to the re-level, not three subcontractors pointing at each other.
Machine has to come off the floor, through the door, or onto a pad before it travels? That's the rigging side of the same Dallas crew.
