1-Ton Grip Van Rental in Florida
Not every production calls for a full-sized grip truck, and that’s where the CineVerse 1-Ton Grip Van comes in. Built for fast-moving productions, this compact yet fully equipped unit delivers professional-grade grip and lighting support without the bulk of a larger package. It’s ideal for tight locations, smaller crews, documentary shoots, interviews, branded content, and agile commercial productions that need efficiency without sacrificing quality. Easy to maneuver and production-ready from the start, the van gives crews the tools they need to move quickly and stay organized on set.
Our fully loaded 1-Ton Grip Van is designed for indie films, doc runs, commercial spots, music videos, and budget-conscious productions across Tampa, Orlando, and Central Florida. Packed with essential grip, lighting, and support equipment, it provides everything needed for a smooth shoot while keeping the setup lean and efficient. Whether you're filming in a studio, on location, or in hard-to-access spaces, the CineVerse 1-Ton Grip Van delivers reliable production support with the right gear and none of the unnecessary extras.
When your shoot doesn't need a 3-Ton but you still need professional, complete grip and lighting support, the Cineverse 1-Ton Grip Van is your answer. Compact enough to park anywhere in Tampa's historic districts or squeeze into tight Orlando studio lots — but fully stocked with the rigging gear, flags, frames, lights, and electrical you need to work like a pro from call time to wrap.
Our 1-Ton is built for the DP who knows exactly what they need and wants it organized, clean, and ready to go. From Mole Richardson tungsten kits to a full selection of 18x24s through 8x8 frames, plus gels, diffusion, and rigging — it's all here. And when your grip and electric team is 2–4 people, this van is the sweet spot between capability and cost.
Based in Central Florida, we deliver throughout the Tampa Bay area, Orlando, and surrounding regions. Pickup is also available. Call us to check availability and book your dates — we're real people who pick up the phone.

What's Loaded on the Van
The 1-Ton Grip Van is designed for the production that needs professional-grade grip and lighting without the footprint or cost of a larger truck. Whether you're shooting a branded social spot, a documentary interview at a Tampa Bay location, or a regional commercial in Orlando, this van has the tools to make your shoot look like a feature.
Our Mole Richardson tungsten kit ranges from 350w practicals up to a 2k — enough punch for daylight fill, hard interior key, or motivated window sources. Combined with the full frame selection (18x24 through 8x8), a comprehensive rigging package, and our complete gel and diffusion library, your DP has creative control from day one.
The 2300w super-quiet inverter generator is available as an add-on at $60/day — perfect for location work where you can't tie into house power.
Productions That Typically Book the 1-Ton
The 1-Ton is the go-to for lean, efficient productions that still demand professional results. It's the van behind your favorite locally-shot commercials, the documentary interview setups in Tampa's Ybor City, and the brand campaigns running out of Orlando's creative district.
Commercial & Branded Content — When you have a 2–3 person G&E team and a single location or a day of locations, the 1-Ton is perfectly matched. Fast to load out, fast to set up.
Documentary & News Productions — Run-and-gun setups that still need proper rigging. The van gives your crew the rigs and flags to control the environment without slowing down the shoot.
Indie Narrative Features — Budget-conscious narrative shoots that don't want to sacrifice the quality of their lighting package. Many indie DPs prefer the 1-Ton for intimate, character-driven scenes.
If your budget is smaller and you don't need the full 3-Ton package, we can also help you think through what's right for your shoot. Call us — we'll be straight with you.
