Hippo Carts 
Hippo Carts is a small, family-run business specialising in the design and manufacture of high-quality standard and bespoke carts and equipment for the film and television industry. Every piece we produce is hand built in-house, combining precision engineering, practical on-set knowledge, and genuine craftsmanship. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions, we build equipment around the way crews actually work.

Our unique skill set allows us to turn ideas into fully realised, production ready builds. From custom layouts and integrated power solutions to specialist tube light joiners and workflow driven modifications, we have the experience and technical ability to create carts and equipment that are both intelligent in design and robust in construction. Each project is approached with careful planning, problem-solving, and attention to detail to ensure it performs under the demands of set life.

Being a family business means every build is personal. We take pride in the relationships we form with our clients and the trust they place in us. That direct collaboration allows us to deliver equipment that isn’t just high quality, it’s tailored, durable, and built to last. At Hippo Carts, craftsmanship meets functionality, with a family touch behind every weld, fit, and finish.
