When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, Midland calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the Midland 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 Midland, 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 Midland 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.
Midland's Permian Basin oilfield 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 Midland. 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 Midland, TX is mostly a building problem, and in this metro the buildings are in the David Mims Business Park along I-20 west of Loop 250 and the Loop 250 industrial strip encircling the city. They are dominated by outdoor pipe and equipment laydown yards and pre-engineered metal fabrication shops with overhead bridge cranes for rig components, rather than multi-storey buildings — column spacing, door height and floor rating decide the gear long before the weight does. The lifts themselves follow the metro's oilfield equipment manufacturing and repair, pressure pumping and well-completion equipment, drilling rig component fabrication, and frac sand transload and proppant handling.
Plenty of Midland, TX work — Permian Basin oilfield — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same industrial rigging crews through these TX and regional markets:
Midland's industrial base — Permian Basin oilfield — runs on equipment that doesn't move like freight. Turnaround windows, site safety rules, and heavy concentrated loads on process pads set the schedule. Typical rigging jobs for Midland customers include:
A Midland lift list usually runs to workover and drilling rig components, pressure pumping units, wellhead and pipe fabrication equipment, and frac sand transload 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 Midland metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the Midland metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the Midland metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors across the Midland metro.
Plenty of Midland 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 Midland rig finishes on the floor it started on. Served by Union Pacific along the former Texas and Pacific main line through the city. Add I-10, I-20, I-35 and I-45 for the road legs and a machine rigged out of a Midland plant can leave on a trailer or in a rail car — the rigging plan is built backwards from whichever it is.
