When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, Chicago calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the Chicago metro — from a few hundred pounds to 200,000 lbs and beyond, rigged, hauled, and set by one accountable crew.
Chicago's heavy manufacturing & the nation's rail hub base runs on machines that can't be muscled onto a truck — presses, machining centers, transformers, and production lines that have to come off the floor, through the door, and onto a trailer without a scratch. That's rigging: engineered lifts, air skates and gantries, and a crew that measures every doorway before anything moves.
Badass Logistics rigs it like an engineering problem and runs it like a road crew across Chicago. We plan the pick, protect the floors, and set the load to spec — and because we run heavy haul and machinery moving in-house, an oversized lift gets permitted, hauled, and reset without a hand-off.
Setting and leveling machinery onto pads and foundations to spec across the Chicago metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the Chicago metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the Chicago metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors across the Chicago metro.
Moves around Chicago run the I-55, I-80, I-90 and I-94 corridors that knit the metro's industrial belt together. A load that's legal-dimension just gets hauled; anything over height, width, or weight has to be legal on every mile. We handle the Illinois DOT oversize/overweight permitting, route survey, clearance checks, and any escorts as part of the job — so the move reaches its new floor on a compliant route the first time.
