Film and television production is a booming industry in Georgia; there are millions of dollars being poured into the economy from the entertainment sector. A reliable team experienced in heavy lifting is critical to success in the industry, with its massive sets, props, and multiple filming locations. Southside prioritizes flexibility in scheduling and is very responsive to help the production run smoothly and on schedule. 

At Southside Wrecker, we’re proud to be a major asset in the filmmaking process. With advanced, state-of-the-art equipment, we provide film and television production services such as placing and removing vehicles and props and stunt assistance. On set, time is of the essence, and our Rotator Services in Atlanta, GA, help capture scenes efficiently that could otherwise take many hours to capture. What you see in theaters could never be achieved without services like ours working behind the scenes to expedite transportation.

One of the most versatile trucks in our fleet is our Twin-Steer Rotator, which has ample horsepower and capacity to meet film industry needs. It is significantly more compact than traditional cranes and handles incredibly heavy-duty tasks with ease. We are able to quickly adapt and respond to the often-changing schedules common to the film industry, unlike most crane companies that require lengthy advance notice to provide service.

In AMC’s wildly popular show, The Walking Dead, our team was crucial in making key scenes come to life. In Season 7, the main characters, Aaron and Rick, happen upon a 40-foot-long houseboat floating around a lake. The house is believed to contain several valuables, and in the constant struggle for resources and survival, this prop becomes a central part of the season’s drama. Our highly experienced team cautiously lowered the massive prop into the lake on set, allowing it to be safely used by the cast and crew.
