When a machine is too heavy, too tall, or too tight to move safely, Spokane calls a rigger. Badass Logistics plans and executes precision lifts, machine setting, and heavy moves across the Spokane 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 Spokane, WA 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 Spokane and nearby Washington metros, and moves between facilities run as project freight under the same plan — usually quoted the same day. Call (307) 284-1332.
Spokane's mining & manufacturing 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 Spokane. 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 Spokane, WA is mostly a building problem, and in this metro the buildings are in the West Plains industrial area near Spokane International Airport, the Spokane Valley industrial corridor between Interstate 90 and State Route 290, and the Spokane Business & Industrial Park in Spokane Valley. They are a mix of new clear-span warehouse buildings recently built on the West Plains and older postwar single-storey industrial buildings in the Spokane Valley corridor — column spacing, door height and floor rating decide the gear long before the weight does. The lifts themselves follow the metro's medical and dental equipment manufacturing, wood and paper products manufacturing, metals fabrication and machining, aerospace component manufacturing, and food and agribusiness processing.
Spokane, WA runs on mining & manufacturing, and almost none of it stays put. Same crews and the same industrial rigging standards across the region:
Spokane's industrial base — mining & manufacturing — 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 Spokane customers include:
A Spokane lift list usually runs to CNC machining centers, medical and dental device assembly equipment, wood processing and planing equipment, metal fabrication and welding equipment, and aerospace tooling and fixtures, 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 Spokane metro.
Crane, gantry, and jack-and-slide lifts up to 200,000 lbs and beyond across the Spokane metro.
Presses, generators, transformers, and production-line machinery across the Spokane metro.
Skating machines through doorways, up mezzanines, and out of packed floors across the Spokane metro.
Plenty of Spokane 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-90 and I-82, 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 Spokane rig finishes on the floor it started on. Served by BNSF Railway and Union Pacific, both running mainlines through the Spokane Valley industrial corridor with local spur access. Add I-5, I-90 and I-82 for the road legs and a machine rigged out of a Spokane 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 Spokane jobs. For bigger moves we walk both sites before we price anything.

Presses, compressors, generators, full production lines — disconnected, rigged, hauled, and re-leveled across Spokane as one accountable job.
