When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, Jackson calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the Jackson 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 Jackson, MS 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 Jackson and nearby Mississippi metros, and moves between facilities run as project freight under the same plan — usually quoted the same day. Call (307) 284-1332.
Jackson's manufacturing & distribution 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 Jackson. 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 Jackson, MS is mostly a building problem, and in this metro the buildings are in the Canton vehicle assembly plant and its supplier park north of Jackson, the CPKC (formerly Kansas City Southern) intermodal terminal near the airport, and the Hawkins Field Industrial Park near Interstate 220. They are older single-storey warehouse and flex buildings dating from the 1960s and 1970s across Commerce Park and the Hawkins Field Industrial Park — column spacing, door height and floor rating decide the gear long before the weight does. The lifts themselves follow the metro's automotive assembly and supplier manufacturing, fabricated metals manufacturing, and food processing.
Jackson, MS runs on manufacturing & distribution, and almost none of it stays put. Same crews and the same industrial rigging standards across the region:
Jackson's industrial base — manufacturing & distribution — 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 Jackson customers include:
A Jackson lift list usually runs to stamping and body-in-white welding equipment, injection molding machinery, and fabricated metal cutting and forming 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 Jackson metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the Jackson metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the Jackson metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors across the Jackson metro.
Plenty of Jackson jobs start and finish on one floor. The rest have to travel — to a new building across the metro, a sister plant down I-55, I-20, I-10 and I-59, 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 Jackson rig finishes on the floor it started on. Served by Canadian National and CPKC, with a CPKC intermodal terminal near Jackson-Medgar Wiley Evers International Airport. Add I-55, I-20, I-10 and I-59 for the road legs and a machine rigged out of a Jackson plant can leave on a trailer or in a rail car — the rigging plan is built backwards from whichever it is.

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

Most Jackson jobs don't stop at one service. The crew that rigs a machine out is the crew that manages the move and sets it back down — so you're dealing with one company from the disconnect to the re-level, not three subcontractors pointing at each other.
