LEt’s talk about INSURANCE

HOW DOES THIS WORK?

Fort Wayne Grip Truck is a G&E service operated by Forward Creative LLC, NOT a rental house.

What We Provide

  • Grip Truck

  • Equipment

  • An approved operator that also drives the truck

  • Supervision of our equipment (your team can help under our direction)

Our truck and gear always stay with our approved operator and remain insured under Forward Creative’s commercial policies.

WHAT WE COVER

Forward Creative LLC carries:

  • Commercial Auto for the grip truck

  • Equipment Coverage for all gear we bring

  • General Liability for our own operations

These policies cover our truck, our gear, and the work our crew performs while on your set. Everything we bring stays under our care and is insured on our side.

What We Ask From Your Production

1. General Liability (Required)

We’re insured for our own actions, but we are still working on your set, around your team, your clients, your environment, and your schedule.

Your production’s General Liability policy covers incidents that occur within your set environment or as part of your production activities.

Standard limits:
$1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate

2. RENTED EQUIPMENT / INLAND MARINE

Required, with flexibility for smaller projects.

Even though you are not “renting” our gear, your policy will see us as bringing third-party equipment onto your set. Inland Marine protects your production and our gear if someone on your set accidentally damages something we bring.

Examples include:

  • Talent or client knocks over a light

  • Your PA knocks over the Dana Dolly

  • Set dec or props fall onto our gear

In these scenarios, your IM would cover the damage. Most production policies already include this. If yours doesn’t, we’re happy to be flexible for small, low-risk shoots as long as we discuss it beforehand.

Recommended limit: $50K–$100K

COI Details

Before the shoot, please send a Certificate of Insurance showing:

  • Forward Creative LLC listed as Additional Insured (General Liability)

  • Forward Creative LLC listed as Loss Payee (Rented Equipment), unless we’ve agreed on flexibility for your project
