What is a process trailer?
Updated June 2026 · Revolution Picture Cars
A process trailer is a low, flat tow platform designed to safely carry a picture car with actors inside performing while the entire rig is towed through a location or in front of a greenscreen on stage.
The process trailer eliminates the safety risks of having actors perform in a real moving vehicle at speed, while cameras mounted on or around the trailer capture the scene. Platform height and camera access points are engineered for each production's specific requirements.
