Rugged Designs

(Bold Community Outreach)

BE BOLD with audience outreach through AMT’s “Kick Ass” graphical designs. Tactical News Trucks never fail to make the mission clear, and boast engaging rugged designs for community outreach.

Rack Ready or Turnkey

(Specific to Chassis)

Depending on your chosen chassis and configuration, Tactical News Trucks come equipped with various levels of rack space (up to 60RU with our OEM-approved stretch versions!). From mild to wild, AMT can engineer your space for the ultimate in editing capabilities.

Ergonomic Interior Workspace

Spacious and comfortable is never last priority when designing the ultimate on-the-go editing station. AMT provides your team with proper support and clearance to get the job done — comfortably.

Edit Console

Integrated Edit Consoles make up the crucial elements to any editing-capable mobile production site. AMT’s space- and ergonomically-conscious designs provides the broadcast industry with the ultimate in accelerated media technologies.

Superior Storage

Storage shelving options are as limitless and unique as your station’s requirements. Shelving can be adapted to house large screens for pull-out display (screen size only limited by your vehicle model and modifications), boxes for safe equipment storage, and flat-bed sliders for bulkier equipment transportation.

Interior LED Lighting

Interior modifications are almost endless, but the difference is in the details. Extensive use of premium LED Lighting on the interior and exterior of the platform not only illuminates the work area but does it with less power draw to provide the maximum usable power from the inverter systems for critical equipment.

2-3 Passenger Capacity

Depending on your needs and the vehicle’s configuration, Tactical News Trucks can house up to 3 passengers. Get your team ready and on-site in this incredibly flexible and functional vehicle package.

Extreme Ground Clearance

Extreme durability calls for extreme clearance to navigate over the toughest terrain and get the job done. Tactical News Trucks are unique in their ability to take you wherever the story breaks. We can also install additional undercarriage clearance and heavy-duty suspension support (request a specific height in the other requests section).

4-Wheel Drive

All of our popular pick-up truck chassis options are (or can become) 4-wheel drive. Snow, ice, rocks, and other potentially dangerous driving conditions become easily manageable with 4WD. Simply a must for many first responder or chaser broadcast vehicles, Tactical News Trucks with 4WD benefit from improved traction and control.
