We provide a comprehensive stunt engineering service, covering a wide range of stunt requirements—including vehicle stunts, mechanical effects, and specialist builds.

For every stunt sequence, we offer full on-set support, ensuring safety, precision, and seamless execution. Drawing on extensive experience, we design, plan, and deliver bespoke stunt solutions tailored to each project. Our end-to-end service spans the entire process: from initial enquiry and concept development through to planning, design, fabrication, testing, and full support and control during filming.

Our capabilities include stunt-driven car, coach, and HGV truck nitrogen cannons; vehicle pipe ramps for controlled launches; nitrogen push and pull cannons; and high-speed car crash winching systems. We also offer solutions for suspending and positioning vehicles, as well as quick-release systems for vehicles and objects. Whatever the stunt challenge, our equipment and experience ensure precise execution and professional results every time.

We offer comprehensive stunt sequence services, managing every stage from initial design and build to the final shoot. This includes full stunt vehicle preparation tailored to the demands of each production. Our vehicles are equipped with professionally fabricated six-point roll cages, safety fuel cells, motorsport-grade dry-cell battery systems, and racing seats fitted with five-point harnesses. We also provide reinforced polycarbonate windows and fully integrated in-car fire suppression systems, ensuring the highest levels of performance and safety on set

In addition to our standard offerings, we design and manufacture bespoke rigs and equipment tailored to the unique demands of each production. Whether for film, television, commercials, or live events, our team delivers innovative, precision-engineered mechanical effects solutions.
