When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, Dallas calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the Dallas metro — from a few hundred pounds to 200,000 lbs and beyond, rigged, moved, and set by one accountable crew.
Quick answer: Badass Logistics provides industrial rigging in Dallas, TX and the surrounding metro. We handle engineered lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves from a few hundred pounds to 200,000 lbs and beyond, set and leveled to spec. 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.
Dallas's manufacturing & distribution, DFW freight corridor 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 Dallas. We plan the pick, protect the floors, and set the load to spec — and when the load has to leave the building, the same team runs the move and the project freight, so it gets rigged out, delivered, and reset without a hand-off.
Rigging in Dallas, TX is mostly a building problem, and in this metro the buildings are in the Great Southwest Industrial District spanning Arlington and Grand Prairie, the Alliance Logistics District anchored by BNSF's Alliance intermodal terminal in north Fort Worth, and the DFW Airport logistics corridor. They are large single-storey clear-span distribution and light-assembly buildings concentrated around Alliance and the Great Southwest District, built for dock-high trailer loading rather than heavy floor loads — column spacing, door height and floor rating decide the gear long before the weight does. The lifts themselves follow the metro's electronics and telecom equipment manufacturing, aerospace component manufacturing, distribution and fulfillment logistics, and food and beverage processing.
Plenty of Dallas, TX work — manufacturing & distribution, DFW freight corridor — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same industrial rigging crews through these TX and regional markets:
Dallas's industrial base — manufacturing & distribution, DFW freight corridor — 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 rigging jobs for Dallas customers include:
A Dallas lift list usually runs to surface-mount electronics lines, CNC machining centers, injection molding machines, and palletizers and conveyor systems, and each one changes the rig: where it can be picked, what it cannot be set down on, and how much of it has to come apart to clear a doorway.
Setting and leveling machinery onto pads and foundations to spec across the Dallas metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the Dallas metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the Dallas metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors 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.
Not every Dallas rig finishes on the floor it started on. Served by BNSF and Union Pacific, with BNSF's Alliance intermodal facility functioning as one of the largest inland rail ports in the country. Add I-10, I-20, I-35 and I-45 for the road legs and a machine rigged out of a Dallas plant can leave on a trailer or in a rail car — the rigging plan is built backwards from whichever it is.
