Load Lifting / Aerial Crane
Twenty five years of external load liftng experience has enabled Irish Helicopters to become the industry leaders in this very specialised and complex field. The Company's helicopters are all equipped to enable them to carry out external load lifting. Throughout Ireland Irish Helicopters fly diverse external load flights, from simple lifts to the precision positioning of cables on top of electricity poles and delivery of tonnes of cement.
Many tasks, such as the moving of farmed fish require the development and use of specialised equipment. The Company works in conjunction with its clients to develop both equipment and techniques. Over the years many tasks have turned from being "how can we do this?" to routine missions.
When required, specially trained ground crews are deployed with the helicopter, working closely with the pilot and customers to ensure both safety and efficiency. There are undoubtedly lifting tasks yet to be thought of. Irish Helicopters are well placed to offer advice at the planning stage and provide resources for follow up development.
Examples of our regular lifting work includes:
- Live fish transfers
- Bags of stone (footpath renewals)
- Cement for hill top radio masts
- General construction
- Rooftop air conditioning units
- Power line construction
- Power line stringing
