NMT TV and Film Crane Hire SERVICES

NMT’s Film and TV Cranes have featured on the set of many Hollywood blockbuster movies, so it is no surprise that we lead the way for crane hire for TV and film, as well as haulage services for filming production.

As a company with over 40 years of experience, we pride ourselves on being experts in this field. We have been able to help the biggest of movie production companies to help their visions come to life thanks to our top of the range cranes for film and TV and camera and stunt winches.

OUR CRANE HIRE FOR TV SERVICE

We offer an impressive army of cranes and lorries, with the smaller 35-tonne cranes all the way up to our 700 tonne Terex all-terrain crane. A number of different cameras and winches also boast telescopic forklifts and articulating access platforms which enable directors to create the best cinematic shots for their films.

Down on the ground, we provide everything from small 4X4 buggies for the lighter jobs, to our lorries which fuel our haulage service that operates all around the UK.
