Esteeville Ltd — Film and TV Transport

The fleet

Vehicles sized for what each department actually moves.

A modern fleet kept clean and consistent, running from 3.5 tonne Luton box vans through to 26 tonne standby trucks — with trailers, a low loader and 4x4 support vehicles around it.

Standby trucks

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.

  • Column tail lift
  • Internal lighting and racking
  • Load-securing rails and straps
  • Experienced unit drivers

  • Tail lift on every unit
  • Shelved and racked options

  • Available for run-of-show or day hire

By department

Available trucks

Vehicles are fitted out and loaded for the department they are carrying, so kit arrives in the order it comes off.

Camera Truck
Bodies, lenses, matte boxes and the camera department’s carts and flight cases.
Grips Truck
Dollies, track, stands, clamps and rigging hardware, with the space to load it in order.
Props Truck
Action props, hand props and set dressing, racked and secured so nothing travels loose.
Rigger Truck
Pre-rig kit for crews going into a location ahead of the main unit.
Electrical Truck
Lamps, distro, cable and stands for the electrical department.
Construction Truck
Timber, flats, tools and build materials moving between workshop and set.
Locations Truck
Signage, barriers, cones, mats and everything locations needs to hold a site.
DIT Truck
A working space for data wrangling — monitors, drives and a bench that stays put.

Not sure what size you need?

Most productions do not know their exact requirement until the departments have priced their kit — and that is fine. Give us the shape of the job and we will tell you what usually works, rather than selling you a truck you do not need.

Check availability for your dates

The fleet books out around production blocks, so the earlier you call the better — though short-notice work is always worth an ask.
