When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, Riverside calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the Riverside 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 Riverside, CA 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 Riverside and nearby California metros, and moves between facilities run as project freight under the same plan — usually quoted the same day. Call (307) 284-1332.
Riverside's Inland Empire distribution & warehousing 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 Riverside. 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 Riverside, CA is mostly a building problem, and in this metro the buildings are in the Inland Empire warehouse corridor stretching through Eastvale, Mira Loma and Ontario, the March Inland Port industrial area near March Air Reserve Base, and the rail-served industrial belt along SR-60 and I-215. They are large-format big-box distribution buildings with high clear-span ceilings and long truck-court dock walls, built for pallet flow and racking 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 big-box e-commerce fulfillment centers, third-party logistics (3PL) distribution operations, food and beverage distribution warehousing, and import transload and cross-dock operations.
Plenty of Riverside, CA work — Inland Empire distribution & warehousing — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same industrial rigging crews through these CA and regional markets:
Riverside's industrial base — Inland Empire distribution & warehousing — 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 Riverside customers include:
A Riverside lift list usually runs to pallet racking and conveyor sortation systems, forklifts and reach trucks, dock levelers and dock plates, and cross-dock transfer 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 Riverside metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the Riverside metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the Riverside metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors across the Riverside metro.
Plenty of Riverside jobs start and finish on one floor. The rest have to travel — to a new building across the metro, a sister plant down I-5, I-10, I-15 and I-80, 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 Riverside rig finishes on the floor it started on. Served by BNSF and Union Pacific, whose transcontinental main lines cross at Riverside and feed BNSF's San Bernardino intermodal facility and Union Pacific's West Colton yard nearby. Add I-5, I-10, I-15 and I-80 for the road legs and a machine rigged out of a Riverside plant can leave on a trailer or in a rail car — the rigging plan is built backwards from whichever it is.
