3 New Locations For Chapman / Leonard Rental Houses

Dallas, TX- Rolling...and Action! On the set of Walker Texas Ranger, a Titan crane provides the stable support for cameras to film a segment of the popular television series.

Kenneth McCool, Chapman / Leonard's Texas Representative, explains, "production people are just ecstatic about us housing a Titan crane in the area. They love the idea of having a full line of Chapman equipment conveniently located near their production locations." The Texas facility will serve as a rental house for Chapman's mobile cranes, stage cranes, full line of Lenny Arms and bases, remote camera systems, as well as our new Pedolly® and LenCin® pedestals. The Texas facility will also conduct workshops and stand as a qualified service center for Chapman's complete line of camera dollies. Chapman / Leonard Texas is located at 1200 Fort Worth Drive in Denton, Texas. For more information or to place an order for camera equipment, please call either Kenneth or Martha McCool at their USA toll free number, (888) 75 TITAN or (888) 758-4826.
