External load with helicopters and transport of summer cabin materials , furnishings and accessories for homes without road access, is increasingly becoming a field of activity for the helicopter . Transport by helicopter , is also kinder to nature and significantly faster than any alternative transport. Our partnerships approved operators have equipment and experience with load flights for both heavy complex lifting and lighter load assignments. For smaller load operations up to 2-3 tons total weight, it is often cheaper to use smaller helicopter when ferry flights to and from operation area otherwise would constitute a disproportionate share of the cost.

A smaller helicopter may take longer , but could be cheaper in connection with helicopter transport with external load . Include us in the the planning phase to optimize the cost of your transport.

There are many factors to take into consideration that collectively can have a major impact on the total price . External load has many unexpected elements that may affect the overall result. Below are items that illustrate some areas it pays to use professionals in the field of helicopter transportation of building materials . As  how strap the cargo for flights.

Helicopter Sling Load – Weight

Sling Operations – Helicopter transport of building material. The different types of helicopter used in the cargo aviation and helicopter transport , have different max. lifting capacity at standard conditions . It is very important to plan loads to to exceed these , as this may cause a lot of time on reloading .

Helicopter Sling Load  – Strapping

In load flights we use cargo straps when lifting the load for helicopter transport. These “locks” and secures the cargo during transportation. For the ” lock ” to work load must be prepared for and organized in order to make lock concept work .

Helicopter Cargo Load – Landing site

It is often tempting for helicopter transport to exploit the helicopter’s maximum carrying capacity when calculating the costs of operation. However, often lighter still can provide a lower total cost. Loading and unloading site can be of great importance for the cost of the cargo flights in this context .

Money to save on Sharing Ferry Flight with others

Fra mai til oktober er det hovedsesong for helikopter transport av hyttematerialer.   Ofte er det flere oppdrag i samme region.  Ved samkjøring av flere oppdrag samme dag, kan det det våre mye å spare på å gå sammen om oppmøte.
