When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, Sacramento calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the Sacramento 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 Sacramento, 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 Sacramento 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.
Sacramento's construction & 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 Sacramento. 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 Sacramento, CA is mostly a building problem, and in this metro the buildings are in McClellan Business Park, the former McClellan Air Force Base now switched by the Sacramento Valley Railroad, the historic Sacramento Railyards district near downtown, and the Port of West Sacramento. They are a mix of former Air Force base warehouse buildings at McClellan Business Park and older rail-served industrial buildings near the historic Railyards district — column spacing, door height and floor rating decide the gear long before the weight does. The lifts themselves follow the metro's food and beverage processing, ethanol and biofuel production, rocket propulsion and aerospace component manufacturing, and building products manufacturing.
Plenty of Sacramento, CA work — construction & distribution — moves across state lines before it lands. We run the same industrial rigging crews through these CA and regional markets:
Sacramento's industrial base — construction & 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 Sacramento customers include:
A Sacramento lift list usually runs to grain handling and rice-milling equipment, ethanol processing equipment, bulk material-handling and conveying equipment, and precision CNC machining centers, 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 Sacramento metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the Sacramento metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the Sacramento metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors across the Sacramento metro.
Plenty of Sacramento 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 Sacramento rig finishes on the floor it started on. Served by Union Pacific and BNSF, with the short-line Sacramento Valley Railroad switching McClellan Business Park. The Port of West Sacramento on the Sacramento Deep Water Ship Channel handles bulk cargo such as rice, cement and fertilizer, connecting to San Francisco Bay. Add I-5, I-10, I-15 and I-80 for the road legs and a machine rigged out of a Sacramento plant can leave on a trailer, in a rail car, or over water — the rigging plan is built backwards from whichever it is.
