PrideService rents out parade trucks, cargo bikes and sound systems for Pride parades in Denmark and across the Nordics. We take transport, sound and power. You take the party.
01.1
Parade truck
A truck with a driver, prepared for the parade. The deck runs from 7.6 to 13.6 metres depending on the configuration, and it holds up to 45 people — we recommend 30, so there is room to move. We collect it, set it up, drive the route and pack it down again. You turn up to a vehicle that is ready for you.
DRIVER INCLUDED · DECK 7.6–13.6 M · UP TO 45 PEOPLE, 30 RECOMMENDED · BARRIERS, EXTINGUISHER AND FIRST AID
From DKK 58,500 excl. VAT

01.2
Cargo bike
For smaller parades, associations and narrow routes. A cargo bike carries either sound or supplies — never both, because the box is full of one of them. The sound bike plays to all sides and covers a group of up to 80 people. The supply bike takes around 80 kg of drinks, water and kit. We usually send one of each, and both get through where a truck cannot.

From DKK 5,000 excl. VAT · with sound system DKK 6,800 excl. VAT

A battery-powered rig with DJ setup and power for the vehicle. No diesel generator, and therefore no generator noise under the music.

02 — Questions
Questions about parade truck hire
What does it cost to hire a parade truck for Pride?
A parade truck starts at DKK 58,500 excl. VAT and rises with size and setup. A cargo bike starts at DKK 5,000 excl. VAT. On top of that comes Copenhagen Pride's own sponsorship fee, historically around DKK 75,000 — it varies from year to year, and it goes to the organiser, not to us. Write with the parade and the date. You get a concrete quote back.
Can you hire an electric truck for Copenhagen Pride?
Yes, for a surcharge and when one is available. As standard we supply a truck running on HVO — renewable diesel. Write to us with your date and requirements. We will tell you what we have for that parade and what electric costs on top.
How big does a sound system need to be for a parade?
Tell us how many of you there are and how long the route is. Then we put the right setup together. We will not sell you more rig than you need.
What permits does a vehicle in a Pride parade need?
The rules are set by the organiser and the municipality, and they change from year to year. We know them on the routes we drive, and we make sure the paperwork is in place in good time.
Can smaller associations hire a cargo bike instead of a truck?
Yes. The cargo bike is built for exactly that: smaller parades, associations, and routes where a truck is too much.
Do you travel to Pride parades outside Copenhagen?
Yes. We cover all of Scandinavia and can set up in any major city. Our track record is in Copenhagen Pride, where we have run for more than ten seasons — the logistics are the same elsewhere. Write with the city and the date and we will work it out.
How do you keep people safe on the vehicle?
Every vehicle comes with metal barriers all the way round, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit and proper places to get on and off. That is standard on all our vehicles, not an add-on. The organiser sets requirements for the vehicle too — we know them, and we make sure the vehicle meets them.
PrideService is a Danish company hiring out parade trucks, cargo bikes and sound systems for Pride parades in Denmark and across the Nordics. We are the set, not the show.
Everyone else in a parade is competing for attention. That is the whole point. So we do the opposite: we step back so your colours can fill the frame. We are the ones who checked the route, charged the batteries and set the rig up properly before you arrived.
We have been building and running parade floats since 2003. The vehicle is there. It runs. The sound works the whole way. That is what you pay for and that is what you get.
The fleet is mixed. As standard we supply a truck running on HVO — renewable diesel made from waste and residues. It has an exhaust. An electric vehicle can be added for a surcharge; then there is no exhaust on the route. The quote always states which vehicle you get.
The sound rig is battery powered whichever vehicle you get. There is no generator, and so no generator noise under the music.
Safety
People should be able to celebrate on the vehicle without thinking about anything else. Every vehicle is set up with metal barriers all the way round, a fire extinguisher, a first aid kit and proper places to get on and off.
Safety is standard. It is not an add-on.
