Lighting Rental
Gripvan holds a wide range of flash, LED, HMI, and Tungsten lighting in stock, from industry leaders like Arri, Aputure, Creamsource, Nanlux and Profoto. Of course we also stock all the hardware you could need to go with them, along with modifiers, textiles and production EQ. We pride ourselves on our ability to source unusual equipment or produce bespoke solutions to technical problems.
Grip Package Rental
Our Grip packages offer exceptional value for money, up to 50% less than hiring the same EQ and vehicle separately. They’re packed with grip essentials, ready for you to add your chosen lighting package.
Whether you’re shooting a portrait, key art, talking heads or a sports campaign, there’s a package to build your list from.
Digital Capture & Camera Rental
We offer a selection of the most popular digital cameras and ancillary equipment to support productions on set. Whilst our stock is primarily based around Canon DSLR/Mirrorless and Fuji GFX Medium Format systems, where we don’t hold items in stock we work with specialist camera and grip suppliers to meet almost any request.
Location Vehicles / Grip Trucks
Gripvan was born on location, and our location vehicle fleet remains central to our offering. As technology has advance we have added electric and PHEV vans to the fleet, allowing us to offer zero emissions transport to shoots in and around London.
Our vehicles can be added to any equipment list, along with drivers or additional crew. For more information about the fleet, click here
Crew
We offer an affordable crewing service covering the majority of technical roles on set. Whether you need a Driver, Spark, DIT or Gaffer, Gripvan has the crew for you.
As standard our crew rates are based on a 10+1 hour day, billed base to base. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
For more information and guidance on crew rates please see the APA Recommended Crew Terms.

"Why no one brought this to London sooner I don't know. Without sounding too gushing, I had a 2 week location Ad shoot for Halifax last year and Gripvan made it the smoothest most hassle free location shoot I have ever shot! I rented only half of my usual kit because their kit list is a dream and has all the big bits you need on location plus all the little bits you may have overlooked. It makes shooting on location like being in a studio, it is bloody brilliant!"
"Having the Gripvan on location gives me the peace of mind that the small bit of kit you always need but somehow could not anticipate needing, is right there - priceless!"
"I've used Gripvan on a number of shoots now. It's exactly what we've needed on our larger location jobs. To date we've often used rental vans invariably stacked high with gear, unloading most of the larger items to work effectively. Gripvan helps to speed up the lighting process, a valuable asset on the increasingly tighter scheduled jobs these days, keep up the good work guys."
"I think Gripvan have got things right and for me they have become my "go to" rental company when planning a shoot. They are invaluable to me on location as you get so much more than just a selection of great kit. From budgeting through to working on set, you're dealing with experienced pros who really care and know their business"
"I have used the Gripvan on quite a few jobs over the last 12 months and have found it a fantastic asset. It has everything on board we need and is very well designed, saving both time and money. I now ask to have the Gripvan on every location shoot as life is so much easier with it."
"London and the UK have required this service for a very long time. Vans loaded with essential location kit, that can be tailored to suit project and budget requirements,supported by experienced staff with years of location knowledge. As a producer coordinating location shoots in London - booking Gripvan is a priority."
"Gripvan provide an excellent and unique service. Every time I've used them the kit is well looked after, very comprehensive, organised and easy to access. The vans are a great asset to a shoot and Gripvan's experience helps everything run smoothly from production and pre shoot lighting advice to on set rigging and assistance. Top drawer all round!"
