Every hour a Riverside production floor sits idle costs money. From distribution and manufacturing plants to job shops, we rig, haul, and set industrial machinery across the Riverside 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 Riverside, CA 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 Riverside and nearby California 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 Riverside's Inland Empire distribution & warehousing 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 Riverside is concentrated where the floor space is — the Inland Empire warehouse corridor stretching through Eastvale, Mira Loma and Ontario, the March Inland Port industrial area near March Air Reserve Base, and the rail-served industrial belt along SR-60 and I-215. What sits inside follows what the metro actually builds: big-box e-commerce fulfillment centers, third-party logistics (3PL) distribution operations, food and beverage distribution warehousing, and import transload and cross-dock operations. The buildings are large-format big-box distribution buildings with high clear-span ceilings and long truck-court dock walls, built for pallet flow and racking rather than heavy floor loads, 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 Riverside, CA work — Inland Empire distribution & warehousing — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same machinery moving crews through these CA and regional markets:
Riverside's industrial base — Inland Empire distribution & warehousing — 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 Riverside customers include:
On Riverside floors that most often means pallet racking and conveyor sortation systems, forklifts and reach trucks, dock levelers and dock plates, and cross-dock transfer equipment — 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 Riverside metro.
Generator sets, compressors, switchgear, and plant utilities across the Riverside metro.
VMCs, lathes, and machining centers — see CNC moving across the Riverside metro.
Full lines and multi-machine cells, sequenced around production across the Riverside metro.
Plenty of Riverside jobs start and finish on one floor. The rest have to travel — to a new building across the metro, a sister plant down I-5, I-10, I-15 and I-80, 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 BNSF and Union Pacific, whose transcontinental main lines cross at Riverside and feed BNSF's San Bernardino intermodal facility and Union Pacific's West Colton yard nearby. With I-5, I-10, I-15 and I-80 carrying the over-the-road legs, a machine leaving a Riverside 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 Riverside 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 Riverside crew.
