There is a lot of heavy lifting involved to get the horsepower needed into tv shows and movies. Over the years, Southside Wrecker has served the film and television industry by providing vehicle transportation. If you are in the industry and planning your next production, there are many ways we can help.

Delivering—On the set of Fast and Furious 5: Rio Heist, we helped the crew execute the signature heart-pounding racing sequences the Fast and Furious series is known for through vehicle transportation. Our team helped deliver, place, and remove cars as needed during the filming process.

Placing—We have placed many types of vehicles to help further the storyline of television programs and movies. For example, we accommodated the vision for The Walking Dead by lifting and placing a 40-foot long houseboat in a lake. Another film, The 5th Wave, required prop cars to create a desolate apocalyptic backdrop. We delivered and positioned the cars as needed. Whether the vehicles are functioning or not, our team can manage the lifting to fulfill your filming needs.

Removing—In movies and shows, high-speed chases often end in a collision. Whether a car has been driven into a pond, a ravine, or just into a ditch, Southside Wrecker can help. We are experienced with emergency recovery, so this kind of lifting is no trouble for our team. When The Darkest Minds was filmed, their stunt team drove a vehicle off the road, through a guardrail, and into a pond for a splashing dramatic impact. Our crew recovered the vehicle safely and quickly, so they did not hinder the filming timeline.

Performing—We do not mind the spotlight if you need a tow truck in your film. On the set of The Three Stooges remake, one of our heavy-duty trucks lifted a vehicle out of a lake. Whether towing out of a lake or on land, our team is prepared for the task. Nothing like using a professional wrecker to ensure a realistic towing sequence!
