What are Production Vans?
TV and film operator vehicles, or mobile production vans, are production control rooms that allow filming, event coverage and video production at locations outside a regular TV studio. They are ideal for remote broadcasts, outdoor broadcasting, commercials, music videos and photo shoots.
Whether you are a large film production crew or a smaller group working on a TV programme, our fully equipped eight-seater vehicles are perfect for use as portable offices for film and TV work.
Outside broadcasting, or OB, refers to the production and live transmission of news, sports events, live entertainment and anything else that is not possible to film inside a studio. To produce and transmit live events outside a studio, broadcasters often need outside broadcasting vans or a truck.
These vehicles are mini studios on wheels. A production van can provide the working space, equipment storage, desks, shelving and racking needed to support a successful film, TV or film TV project. Depending on the specifications, the vehicle can help with cameras, sound, lighting, notes, planning and crew comfort.
While on-location interviews can be completed quickly at the location, events can also be recorded and produced in a short period of time. Our mobile production vehicles can access remote areas, making the whole process easier for your film crew. This helps the crew record film, audio, commentary, graphics and other screen content as it happens.
Using a mobile production van can be more effective than hiring a purpose-built TV studio, although this depends on the needs, location and style of the production.
There are many advantages to using an outside broadcasting van. Some of those benefits include:
Cheaper overall cost
TV studios can cost a large amount of money and are usually booked for a specific day and time. Hiring a well-equipped broadcasting van gives your team more flexibility, while keeping van hire costs more suitable for many film and TV projects.
Easy To Re-Locate
Whatever the location, a mobile broadcasting van can reach the site and help the crew start shooting quickly. This is useful for the TV industry, commercials, music videos, location scouting and film work where plans can change at short notice.
As we know with outdoor live events, an indoor studio would not be able to broadcast without a location-based vehicle, camera operator and crew.
Minimal space required
Our eight-seater vehicles can park next to many locations and support live broadcasts, interviews, photo shoots and film events. The size of an audience can often be much greater than in a studio. It is impossible to film an outdoor concert or busy road event properly from inside a studio.
Reliable
Broadcasters, production companies and producers rely heavily on outside broadcasting vans. They assist the studio by providing clear details of the news, a BBC broadcast, a film, a TV event or other TV industry work taking place. This service can also support photography, live audio, video and reporter interviews.
Film and Television Production
In the past, film and TV productions often used indoor studios with mobile scenery or a screen to create an outdoor view.
Technology has moved forward over the years, and mobile TV production now allows the ideal setting to be used when filming begins.
Outside broadcasting is useful when shooting unique locations. Depending on the needs of the production, the crew can adjust the set, complete a sound check, or re-shoot when required. This is one reason vehicle hire is valued across the film and TV industry, from major studios to BBC work.
Photoshoots
Photoshoots are often completed on location instead of in a studio. If a residential street, beach location, London street or commercial site is required, a mobile production van is ideal when several sites are needed in one day.
The full set can be transported with the crew, which makes the van an asset to any film shoot, TV shoot, commercial work or music videos. A spacious van can also help the team keep equipment safe and organised.
Location Scouting and Production Support
Location scouting is an important part of the film and TV industry. A reliable van hire service can help the team visit each location, review access, check parking and confirm whether the site will meet the needs of the production.
For work in London, near major studios or across wider locations, we can supply vehicles that help the crew arrive prepared. Our modern fleet is kept in good condition, and our friendly drivers are happy to help when support is needed. This experience is highly recommended for teams that need vehicles quickly, safely and efficiently.
Choosing the Right Vehicle
The right van depends on the hire period, crew size, equipment, location and project needs. We can provide a range of vehicles and sizes, from an eight-seater van to larger vehicles where more space is required.
