Industrial Equipment
Move heavy machinery, oversized industrial components, and finished equipment to job sites and facilities across North America with confidence. Our in-house brokerage connects you with a vetted network of flatbed and heavy-haul specialists, backed by over 30 years of logistics experience.
At Badger Logistics, we don’t just move freight—we partner with industrial equipment shippers to deliver specialized solutions that protect high-value assets and keep project timelines on track. We understand the complexity of moving oversized machinery and heavy components: the right trailer selection, the risk of last-minute decisions, and the consequences of a late delivery when install crews are waiting on site.
Through our in-house brokerage, Fall River Express, we connect shippers with a tested and vetted network of flatbed and heavy-haul carriers. Our experience helps us mitigate risk, navigate state-by-state regulations, and match every load with the right equipment and the right carrier—because in industrial equipment shipping, the details matter.
Standard flatbeds, step decks, conestogas, hotshots, double drops, and RGNs—we source the right trailer for the size and weight of your equipment according to your requirements.
Our carriers take loads of up to 12 feet wide and 80,000 pounds across the lower 48 states and parts of Canada.
We don’t post heavy haul freight on open load boards. For complex equipment shipments, we go directly to trusted carriers who understand the stakes and have the equipment to handle the job safely.
We take responsibility for all the details of your shipment, from appointments for pickup and delivery to special requirements (e.g. working with install crews, required unloading equipment like cranes), to making personal contact and staying in touch with the responsible party until the delivery is completed.
We started working with Badger Logistics this year, and honestly, they've been a game-changer for us. Getting pump equipment delivered on time is make-or-break in our business, and these guys just get it.

Intra-Wisconsin shipments and deliveries to just over neighboring states’ borders (e.g., Illinois, Minnesota) including Milwaukee, Chicago, Rockford, Madison, Green Bay, and Wausau. Typically within a 200-250 mile radius. Same-day or next-day delivery options.
Coverage throughout the Midwest at distances up to 700 miles from origin. Typically one-day transit time serving the states of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, and North and South Dakota.
Long-haul shipment coverage extends across the continental United States and parts of Canada. Typical transit times of 2-3 days for long-distance hauls. Ideal for shipments over 700 miles and where partial shipping offers significant cost advantages.
Finding a logistics company that understands specialized shipping used to be a real headache for us. Since we've been with Badger, that's one less thing I have to worry about. The work they do behind the scenes, communicating with sites to ensure smooth delivery experiences, really is invaluable and unmatched. Their pool of vetted drivers allows us to keep our promises and grow our business. When they say they'll have a truck there at 7 AM, you can count on it being there at 7 AM—and in this industry, that reliability is worth its weight in gold.
I trust Badger with most of my regional loads because I know their team is going to deliver on time and keep the handling of my freight their top priority. I also appreciate that they try to be as efficient as possible and charge a reasonable price for their services. Their communication, transparency, and ability to accommodate puts them light years ahead of a lot of their competitors.
Badger's customer service has been fantastic—and that's becoming really hard to find these days. We called them up recently, and within three hours, they had something brought back from the warehouse. It helps us out a lot. They're one of those logistics partners that is so good, they never tell you 'no.'

You want this guy involved when your freight is being transported! His communication is amazing, punctual and responsive even when it’s late or weekends! Their rpm and pay is also outstanding and on time always!
