FAQs

Can I adjust the grip and lighting package for my project?
Our base G&E sprinter packages are fixed with grip equipment. You can also separately rent lighting equipment and camera support, like our Dana dolly kit, LEDs, power, HMIs, distro, or specialty rigging. Need something truly bespoke? Get in touch for more information.
Do you offer multi-day or weekly pricing?
We do provide multi-day/weekly rates. Share your schedule with us, and we’ll provide a quote for the best option.
Do you service productions outside Denver?
Yes! Though we’re based in Denver, our grip vans are road-ready for on-location productions across the state. We regularly support shoots in Boulder, Golden, Fort Collins, and into the mountains.
Can you help staff a production crew?
Yes, ask us about our local technician network for filmmaking and commercial production. We can connect you with experienced gaffers, key grips, ACs, DPs, and more.
Do I need insurance to book your vans?
Yes. All rentals require a Certificate of Insurance (COI) and a signed rental agreement to ensure both your crew and the equipment are covered.
Who can rent your grip trucks?
We work with video production companies, independent filmmakers, commercial crews, and creative professionals of all kinds.
