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.
