Every hour a Allentown production floor sits idle costs money. From distribution and manufacturing plants to job shops, we rig, haul, and set industrial machinery across the Allentown metro — one accountable crew from disconnect to re-level, built to get your line back up on schedule.
Quick answer: Badass Logistics provides machinery moving in Allentown, PA and the surrounding metro. We disconnect, rig, haul, and re-level presses, generators, compressors, and full production lines as one accountable job. Our crews work across Allentown and nearby Pennsylvania metros, and moves between facilities run as project freight under the same plan — usually quoted the same day. Call (307) 284-1332.
Most machinery moves fail in the gaps — the rigger who only lifts, the carrier who only drives, the installer who shows up to a machine that was moved wrong. Across Allentown's Lehigh Valley logistics & manufacturing base, Badass Logistics closes those gaps by running rigging, transport, and reinstallation as one job with one crew.
Presses, generators, compressors, production lines, a single machine between bays or a full plant relocation — we plan it on paper first, move it on air skates and air-ride, and set and level it to spec at the new floor. Moving to another facility? It runs as project freight inside the same plan — no hand-off.
The machinery work in Allentown is concentrated where the floor space is — the Lehigh Valley Industrial Park (LVIP) campuses along I-78, the Bethlehem Commerce Center on the former Bethlehem Steel site, home to the BethIntermodal rail terminal, and the Mack Trucks Lehigh Valley Operations complex in Macungie. What sits inside follows what the metro actually builds: heavy truck assembly, steel and metal fabrication legacy shops, warehouse and distribution operations, and confectionery and food manufacturing. The buildings are large modern single-storey big-box distribution buildings built across Lehigh Valley industrial parks and the former Bethlehem Steel site, alongside older multi-storey brick steel-era buildings that remain nearby, and that is usually what decides whether a machine rolls out through a dock door on skates or has to come apart on the floor first.
Plenty of Allentown, PA work — Lehigh Valley logistics & manufacturing — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same machinery moving crews through these PA and regional markets:
Allentown's industrial base — Lehigh Valley logistics & manufacturing — runs on equipment that doesn't move like freight. Most work happens around live distribution and production operations that can't stop for the move. Typical machinery moves for Allentown customers include:
On Allentown floors that most often means heavy truck cab and chassis assembly lines, engine grooming and truck modification equipment, material handling and conveyor systems, and CNC machining centers — each with its own lift points, its own disconnect list, and its own reason it can't be handled like palletised freight.
Stamping presses, press brakes, shears, and injection molding machines across the Allentown metro.
Generator sets, compressors, switchgear, and plant utilities across the Allentown metro.
VMCs, lathes, and machining centers — see CNC moving across the Allentown metro.
Full lines and multi-machine cells, sequenced around production across the Allentown metro.
Plenty of Allentown jobs start and finish on one floor. The rest have to travel — to a new building across the metro, a sister plant down I-76, I-80, I-81 and I-95, 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.
Served by Norfolk Southern and Canadian Pacific, with the BethIntermodal terminal at the Bethlehem Commerce Center handling rail-to-truck transfers. With I-76, I-80, I-81 and I-95 carrying the over-the-road legs, a machine leaving a Allentown plant has more than one viable routing — and the crating and load plan get built around whichever one it is, not the other way round.

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

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 Allentown crew.
