Whether you’re on a fast-paced location shoot or managing back-to-back studio days, how you store and transport your gear makes a big difference. Poorly organised equipment slows down production, risks breakage, and costs valuable time.
In this post, we’ll share practical storage and transport tips used by professional film crews to keep operations smooth, efficient, and damage-free.
Key Sections:
1. Categorise & Label Everything
Use clearly marked reusable boxes for cameras, sound, lighting, and props. Colour-coded labels or printed inserts can save hours on set.
2. Invest in Stackable, Durable Containers
Flimsy crates won’t survive multiple load-ins. Choose industrial-grade boxes that protect gear from impacts, spills, and weather changes.
3. Keep Gear Modular for Fast Turnaround
Create “grab kits” for common tasks—pre-packed boxes with tools, cables, or accessories ready to go.
4. Plan for Transit & Load-Ins
Wheeled trolleys and uniform box sizes simplify van packing and venue access. Boxes should stack securely and be easy to unload quickly.
5. Reduce Waste with Reusables
Replacing cardboard and single-use wrapping with robust reusable boxes saves money and reduces clutter on set.
