SCENE 01 / PRODUCTION VEHICLES
Production Vehicles
Complete vehicle fleet for your New York production.
Here is how this works in practice. Production cars have the trucks, vans, trailers, and support cars that keep a film crew operational on location. Gear trucks, wardrobe trailers, cast motorhomes, and catering cars form the mobile infrastructure that supports each department across a shooting schedule.
Here is the short of it. We source and set up production car packages from local fleet providers, matching car types and quantities to your production's scale. Our team handles permits, parking arrangements, and scheduling logistics so your car fleet supports smooth daily operations at each location.

Here is how the work lines up. Production fleets in New York are assembled from a tight roster of pros. Sirius Productions and NY Production Trucks for camera, grip and lighting trucks. Cine Trucks NY and JR Lighting & Power for combo and gen-and-cable rigs. Star Waggons for talent trailers. Movie Movers and Stockwell Inc. For grip and gen support. And NYC PA trucks for crew transport.
Here is the breakdown. Our rental team matches the setup to the schedule — a feature unit shooting interiors at Silvercup Queens or Kaufman Astoria gets a different package than a Manhattan exterior moving each twelve hours from Tribeca to the Lower East Side to Harlem. Honey wagons, three-banger and five-banger trailers, hair-and-makeup wagons, wardrobe trucks and production office cubes are built into the base camp footprint that NYC Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment will actually permit on a given block.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Routing is the part that breaks inexperienced fleets. Manhattan bridge and tunnel restrictions cut tall trucks out of the Holland, Lincoln, Brooklyn-Battery and Queens-Midtown when overheight, MTA bridge clearances and weight limits dictate which Hudson and East River crossings a tow plant can take, and NYC commercial car parking rules need advance arrangement with NYPD Movie/TV Unit alongside the MOME Made in NY permit. We set up Teamsters Local 817 drivers for the moves that need union coverage, build advance parking holds with NYPD precinct liaisons, plan FDR, BQE, I-95 and Belt Parkway routes around all-night closures, and handle fuel planning across base camps in Long Island City, Greenpoint, Red Hook and Bronx Point — keeping the fleet repositioned ahead of the call sheet rather than chasing it.
