Review and Approval
We’ll send you detailed 3D CAD drawings of your bespoke film and TV production cart for full review. You can request design adjustments free of charge to ensure the layout, storage, and features work perfectly for your department and workflow.
Once you’re completely satisfied with the custom lighting or equipment cart design and quote, we’ll move forward to precision manufacturing in our UK workshop.
Manufacture
Your bespoke film and TV production cart is built in our UK workshop using precision laser welding, in-house 3D printing, and highly skilled fabrication to ensure every lighting and equipment cart is durable and production-ready. We handle everything in-house, with only the powder coating completed by our trusted local partner PMc powder coating for a professional finish. Before coating, we’ll send photos for final approval, giving you one last chance to make tweaks before your cart is completed.
Deliver
Once complete, your bespoke film and TV production cart will be carefully packaged and shipped to the address of your choice. Delivered fully assembled and production ready, your lighting or equipment cart will be ready to roll straight onto set from day one, no extra setup, no delays, just ready to work.

Free Bespoke Design Service – Built Around Your Workflow
At Hippo Carts, we design and manufacture high-quality film and TV production carts, lighting carts, and equipment carts that are built to make life on set easier. As a family run UK business, our focus is simple: deliver durable, professional-grade carts without the inflated price tags often seen in the production industry.
Every department works differently, lighting, grip, camera, art, sound, DIT, and a standard cart doesn’t always fit real world workflow. That’s where our free bespoke design service makes the difference.
With in house design and fabrication expertise, we can create fully customised film carts and TV production carts tailored to your exact kit, storage needs, and working style. Whether you need integrated power, specific crate layouts, stand storage, charging solutions, mounting points, or a completely new concept, we design around how you actually operate on set.
Our background in TV engineering projects and collaboration within the production industry means we understand the pressures of studio floors, location moves, and tight prep schedules. Every bespoke cart starts with a detailed discussion, followed by clear technical drawings for your approval, ensuring the final build works perfectly before fabrication begins.
If you don’t see exactly what you need in our store, or you want to modify an existing design, get in touch. We believe the right bespoke production cart can reduce clutter, speed up setup, protect equipment, and improve efficiency across your department.
Whether it’s a one-off bespoke build or a refined version of a proven design, we’re here to create a cart that works for you, not the other way around.
