MPR Says
A 5-ton grip truck rental provides the heavy-duty rigging firepower and inventory volume required for main-unit feature films, high-budget national commercials, and complex location builds. Designed for experienced G&E departments operating across Miami, Orlando, and Fort Lauderdale, this package carries deep equipment redundancies—ensuring your Key Grip and Gaffer never run short on C-stands, high-capacity combo stands, or specialized mounting hardware mid-shoot.
The vehicle is loaded with premier gear from Matthews Studio Equipment, featuring full 12×12′ and 20×20′ LA Rag House textile setups, speed rail, lumber racks, and heavy-duty rigging crates. Built on custom rolling Muscle Carts and Taco Carts, gear moves effortlessly from the 3,300 lb hydraulic liftgate straight to set. For smaller setups, consider our 3-ton grip truck rental, or step up to our massive 10-ton grip truck rental for studio production grids.
Moving Picture Rental offers flexible logistics: rent the truck bare, hire a professional driver, or leverage our Florida crewing services to staff your entire grip and electric department. From beach shoots in Fort Myers to commercial sound stages in Tampa, our 5-ton fleet ensures your production is equipped to handle demanding shot lists.

What Florida Gaffers Say
As a freelance gaffer for over 20 years, I really appreciate good, quality service and equipment. Moving Picture has new gear, new trucks and unprecedented service, which makes them a leader in the field and joy to work with. Nothing really makes my job easier than having the grip/electric order arrive on set, complete with perfectly functioning gear. I have nothing but praise for Moving Picture. – Jim Pescrille, Freelance Gaffer (Fort Lauderdale, FL)
