Film Industry Support
With over 30 years of experience in the film industry, Maxum Crane Rentals Ltd. has earned a reputation as a trusted partner to leading production companies—including Disney, Warner Bros., and Netflix—delivering expert crane services for some of the most iconic films and television shows.
Our journey began in the early 1980s, when we operated as Sorensen Crane and D&D Crane Rentals, supporting special effects on productions like The Golden Seal, The Iceman, and The Boy Who Could Fly. During this time, we collaborated with John Thomas of Thomas Special Effects, pioneering descender drops, cablecam shots, and contributing to lighting and stunt work.
Today, we continue to support the film and television industry by providing cranes and rigging expertise to many high-profile productions shooting in and around Vancouver. Our services range from rain and sun cover with rigging grips to wire work with stunt riggers. We have also played an integral role in set construction, working closely with production teams to build elaborate sets. Additionally, our team excels in capturing high-angle shots from our suspended camera baskets.
