WHAT THE TRUCK?

WHAT THE TRUCK?

FORT WAYNE GRIP TRUCK is a fully-loaded, crew-operated 1-ton G&E package designed for productions shooting in and around Northeast Indiana.

We specialize in the type of shoots that land here most often — branded docs, corporate interviews, and lean, high-quality regional productions.

We bring the truck, the gear, and an experienced operator who knows set rhythm, problem-solving, and how to slot into your workflow seamlessly.

The right tools. The right size. Zero hassle.

FORT WAYNE GRIP TRUCK is a 1-ton G&E package curated by a working DP who actually shoots this kind of work — not a rental house, not a “we’ve got whatever’s left in the garage,” and not the giant 5-ton you don’t need.

It’s the right size, the right tools, and the right people for:

  • branded documentary days

  • real interviews with real humans

  • corporate video that needs to not look corporate

  • small-to-mid commercial shoots

  • agency B-unit days

  • regional production scaling up quality without flying in a whole crew

We designed the truck to make life easier for you and your team:
smart layout, the stuff that actually gets used, and operators who know set rhythm.

No drama. No junk gear. No surprises.

Just a properly built 1-ton that makes your day smoother.

WHO DO WE HELP?

  • Out-of-town producers filming in Fort Wayne or nearby

  • Commercial + branded doc teams traveling light and needing dependable G&E

  • Corporate / industrial teams scaling up production quality

  • Agencies shooting interviews or B-roll days

  • Local filmmakers looking for pro-level support

FAQ’S

  • You have to have rented equipment and general liability insurance to book the truck.

  • It just depends. Fort Wayne Grip Truck is a small operation and it doesn’t make sense for us to accommodate small a-la-carte orders. But, if you can meet our order minimum of $495/day and have insurance, drop us a line and we can see if it will work! rent@fwgriptruck.com
