What we do
Esteeville is Jason Clarke & Sons — a family firm running standby and tech vehicles that sit with a department for the run of a shoot and move with the unit. The vehicles are the straightforward part. Keeping them in the right place through weather, overruns and last-minute location changes is the actual job, and it is why productions deal with the same few people from prep to wrap.
Trucks that sit with the unit for the run of the shoot, carrying a department’s kit and staying with it from location to location.
Moving a production between locations — planned, sequenced and turned around so departments can load out and be set up again on schedule.
Collections from suppliers during prep, day-to-day running through the shoot, and returns on wrap. One fleet across the whole schedule.
Camera, grip, electric, art department, construction, costume and props — vehicles sized and fitted out for what each department actually carries.
Low loader work for machinery, generators and picture vehicles that need to arrive on location undamaged and on time.
Working the length of Ireland and travelling to Northern Ireland and the UK where a production needs the fleet to follow.
On location. A unit truck and the 4x4 on the low loader, called to a castle location for a night shoot.
“What a fleet! I drive a coach around the country — I can spot them a mile away. Always immaculate.”
The fleet
18t – 26t
Curtain-side and box bodies with column tail lifts, internal lighting and load-securing throughout. Suited to construction, rigging, art department and set dressing loads that need to travel complete and come off the truck ready to work.
7.5t – 18t
DAF box bodies fitted out for production use, with tail lifts sized for flight cases, carts and rolling stock. The size most productions default to for camera, grip, electric, costume and props.
3.5t
Driveable on a standard licence, with tail lifts fitted. Ideal for second unit, splinter days, prep and wrap runs, and locations where a full-size truck simply will not fit.
Various
Twin-axle box trailers for overflow kit, low loaders for plant and picture vehicles, and 4x4 pickups for towing, recces and getting into locations the trucks cannot reach.
Why Esteeville
Keeping a unit moving across a shooting schedule is a different thing — and it is what a family that has spent its working life doing this is actually selling.
