The Largest, Most Rugged Television Body Under CDL

columbia college construction  

Having delivered more than 600 Television Production vehicles over the last 20 years, we’ve honed our craft to the point where we offer the lightest weight, yet most durable body in the business.  The bottom line for our customer is that we are able to provide body up to 24 feet long, including a 20kW generator, without crossing the weight threshold requiring a CDL!  There is no other Television Production vehicle that comes close; and our four (4) year Warranty applies here as well.

The Gerling Power System; Nothing Else Comes Close!

150a power

Broadcast Television at thislevel demands a power system built for Broadcasting.  The Gerling Power System is the only one in the industry that employs industrial-grade transformers, one 15kVA for Technical power and one 20kVA for the environmental side, each with tap select switches at six different voltages.  Our Gerling Power Panel speaks for itself; more capacity and flexibility puts Gerling customers ahead of any potential site problems.

“A” Unit Air Conditioning!

Proper, commercial gradeHVAC is not just within the realm of expanding side trailers.  Only Gerling has wall mount air conditioners that are custom built for the industry, and they are standard on the Stallion Class.  Two wall-mounted G-Force air-conditioners, three tons (36,000BTU) each, provide 72,000BTU of ducted cooling and heating directly through the equipment racks and into personnel areas.  Included are true hot gas bypass all the way down to 0% operation, along with accumulators that enable seamless operation even with altitude change.

And yet, there are companies that use the stunningly inappropriate rooftop air conditioners for this application!

The “STINGER” Generator!

While Gerling has broughtcountless innovations to the Broadcast Vehicle industry, the “STINGER” generator has had perhaps the biggest impact on both mid-sized Production units and SNG vehicles over the last 15 years. 

The “STINGER” places a 20kWgenerator BELOW the main floor decking of the vehicle (with up to a 32kW available) and between the frame rails of the truck aft of the rear-most axle.  Opposed to the outdated technique of just throwing the generator on the floor of the rear of the truck (!), the Gerling “STINGER” provides for up to 20% more interior operations space, more access to the generator itself, wide-open access to the rearmost racks in the vehicle.
