When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, El Paso calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the El Paso 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 El Paso, 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 El Paso 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.
El Paso's border manufacturing & maquila 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 El Paso. 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 El Paso, TX is mostly a building problem, and in this metro the buildings are in the Butterfield Trail Industrial Park near El Paso International Airport, the Santa Teresa Gateway Rail Park across the New Mexico state line, and the Union Pacific and BNSF rail yards on the city's east side. They are single-storey tilt-wall and pre-engineered warehouse space built for cross-border trucking rather than heavy floor loads, concentrated in dense industrial parks near the ports of entry — column spacing, door height and floor rating decide the gear long before the weight does. The lifts themselves follow the metro's automotive parts and wire-harness manufacturing, medical device and electronics assembly, cross-border warehousing and distribution for Juárez maquiladoras, and produce and chile pepper distribution.
Plenty of El Paso, TX work — border manufacturing & maquila — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same industrial rigging crews through these TX and regional markets:
El Paso's industrial base — border manufacturing & maquila — runs on equipment that doesn't move like freight. Keeping the rest of production running while machines move is usually the hardest part of the plan. Typical rigging jobs for El Paso customers include:
A El Paso lift list usually runs to wire-harness and cable assembly lines, injection-molding machines, electronics and medical-device assembly equipment, and cross-dock material handling equipment, 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 El Paso metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the El Paso metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the El Paso metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors across the El Paso metro.
Plenty of El Paso 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 El Paso rig finishes on the floor it started on. Served by BNSF and Union Pacific, both routing intermodal and manufacturing traffic across the border to Ciudad Juárez. Add I-10, I-20, I-35 and I-45 for the road legs and a machine rigged out of a El Paso plant can leave on a trailer or in a rail car — the rigging plan is built backwards from whichever it is.
