The crane hire behind the big films . . .

When the cameras rolled on World War Z and The Dark Knight Rises, audiences witnessed spectacular cinema.

But behind those sweeping aerial sequences and death-defying stunts stood the real experts of lifting in film production: NMT, the specialist crane operators and cutting-edge equipment from our tried and tested fleet.

Now, as the entertainment industry ramps up, NMT, with over 40 years of experience in the field, is positioning itself at the forefront of this evolution.

Managing Director JD Ambridge emphasises the company’s vision for the future:

He said: “NMT has been a key player in film and television production for decades, but we’re not resting on our past successes. The industry is evolving, and so are we. Our goal is to become the go-to crane hire partner for the biggest and most ambitious productions, offering innovative solutions that make film crews’ jobs easier, safer, and more efficient.”

This ambition isn’t just talk. Our business is already on the sets, but there’s always room for more work to keep our modern and extensive fleet busy.

Already this season NMT has supplied state-of-the-art cranes, haulage, and lifting solutions to some of the British Film industry’s biggest productions, helping bring iconic cinematic moments to life.

Our track record includes not just the aforementioned film hits, but a portfolio of productions where precision engineering met creative vision.

The company’s comprehensive approach sets it apart in an increasingly competitive market.

NMT offers a diverse range of equipment including Jib Cranes, Telescoping Cranes, Dolly Cranes, Russian Arm Cranes, Boom Cranes, Camera Crane Dollies, Steady-Cam Cranes, and Mini Cranes – each serving unique production requirements.

But it’s not just about the hardware. With advancements in film production and increasing demand for dynamic stunt and camera work, the company is expanding its fleet and services to meet an industry hungry for innovation.

From their Bedford headquarters, NMT is ready to deliver our next job. Get in touch with JD or our Hire Desk today.
