Helicopter Lifting Stockholm

Helicopter lifting in Stockholm for building materials, heavy machinery and equipment – to construction sites where road transport is not an option.

We provide helicopter lifting in Stockholm for a wide range of loads, including building materials such as concrete, gravel and steel, as well as heavy machinery and equipment.

Strong, agile helicopter lifting in Stockholm

Lifting capacity on a helicopter lift in Stockholm depends on which helicopter is used. Most of our fleet are Airbus H125, which lift a maximum of 1,400 kg – around 1,200 kg is the practical load we normally plan for. For the heavier lifts we use our Bell 205 / UH-1H, which handles a maximum of 1,750 kg, and roughly 1,600 kg in practice. Every one of our helicopters is well suited to moving building materials, equipment and other heavy loads around Stockholm, which makes us a dependable partner for heavy helicopter lifting in the region.

What kinds of load can a helicopter lift in Stockholm?

We at HeliAir carry out helicopter lifting in Stockholm for a wide range of loads, including building materials such as concrete, gravel and steel, as well as heavy machinery and equipment. Helicopter lifting is particularly useful for getting material to construction sites that are hard to reach, where road transport is not an option.

The advantages of helicopter lifting in Stockholm

Helicopter lifting in Stockholm has a great deal going for it. Using a helicopter, we can move material quickly and efficiently into remote or confined areas without having to build a road first. It saves time and money, particularly on projects where conventional transport would be slow or simply impossible. A helicopter lift also allows material to be placed with precision exactly where it is needed, which cuts labour costs and reduces the impact on the surrounding ground.

We also carry out helicopter lifting in Gothenburg.

  • That depends on the distance involved and on what is being moved. For shorter jobs – lifting building materials to a site within Stockholm, say – the flight can take between 15 and 30 minutes. Longer lifts, or more complex ones, can take a couple of hours depending on the specific conditions.
