Heavy Lifting Aerial Services – Specialist Lifting
Our helicopters can consistently lift up to 650kg into hard to reach locations.
With arrangements we can lift up to 1.5 Tonne.
Why Use A Helicopter Rather Than A Crane Service For Heavy Lifting?
The turn around time – and not paying for the time to get to the location – crane or driving makes helicopter lifting services more economical than you would think. A few of the reasons people like to use us for heavy lifting jobs is:
Fast: We can be airborne and ready to go in 20 Min. Most jobs are faster than setting up a crane and much easier to park in a congested inner city area.
Cost Effective: When time is of the essence a helicopter can be in and job completed in a very short period of time.
Safety: The Bell 427 has twin engines – with superior redundancy. Should one engine fail, the helicopter can continue flying on one engine.
Experience: With over 30 years in the industry and over 10,000 hours flying helicopters, our chief pilot Shamus Howard has lifted everything from gravel, trees, vehicles, building materials, swimming pools, air con units, and many more specialised lifts!
Access: We can get into areas that cranes and large vehicles cannot. We can also get to remote locations faster, relocating people and materials in less time than driving or on foot.
