No venue power is required. Each SkyTracker trailer includes its own heavy-duty commercial mobile generator. Because it is an industrial outdoor generator, we park the unit curb-side, near the street entrance, or along your parking lot perimeter where normal outdoor sound blends in.
One standard parking space (approximately 10' × 15') on level pavement, gravel, or firm turf with an unobstructed vertical view of the sky. For Mardi Gras parades, our mobile searchlights mount directly inside the bed of our parade tow truck.
Yes. We produce custom vinyl logos for our 5' Airstar Crystal spheres and Lunix helium balloons, and we offer stationary or rotating custom Gobo projectors for monograms, school crests, and corporate logos.
With four 4-beam SkyTracker units serving the Gulf South, peak Mardi Gras, homecoming, and weekend dates often reserve weeks or months ahead. Have a last-minute event this week? Call or text (504) 282-5759—if a unit is open, we can roll.
