GRIP GEAR IN A TRAILER? BRILLIANT! 

My most recent assignment here at Hammers House of Lighting was to turn an empty 6x12 cargo trailer into the best new grip package in the Midwest! In my mind, this was a excellent idea! We've had this trailer for years and at first it was a great way to transport gear and supplies around town but with the acquisition of so many other vehicles, the use for this one became obsolete. Should we sell it? No! 

I loaded the trailer with a C-stand cart, 3 combo stands, and 6 baby stands. There's a grip cart with cardellini's, mafers, grip heads, quakers, apple boxes and other common grip equipment. You'll find a flag cart with a basic supply of cutters, nets and silks in sizes that range from 18"x24" to 48"x48". There is also a 42"x42" silver reflector, a 48"x48" bead board, and a 8'x8' frame with a solid, silk, and ultra bounce. And of course you will see stingers, shot bags, furniture blankets, expendables, and a ladder. If you need anything else, we'll throw it on for you!

The fact that this package is in a trailer gives you options! You could bring your truck or van here and pick it up. You wouldn't have to hire a driver. Or, we could drop it off at your location for you. If you would like to rent a truck with it, of course we have that too. There are many options here but the point is... this package is light, compact, and perfect for your next production!
