Mobile Crane Stockholm

When a helicopter is the better option

In Stockholm a truck-mounted crane is often the obvious way to lift and move heavy objects. But you run into situations where a crane is not the most practical choice, or not a possible one at all. It may be that the site is hard to reach, that the street will not bear the weight, or that the load is simply more than the ground beneath can take. In cases like that a helicopter can be the answer – and that is where HeliAir comes in.

When a truck crane is not enough in Stockholm

Truck cranes are powerful and flexible, but they have limits. In parts of Stockholm you cannot use one at all. Inner-city streets can be too narrow to set the vehicle up and extend its outriggers. On top of that, there is often a limit on how much load a street may carry, which rules out a heavy truck entirely.

The helicopter – the smarter option

Where a truck crane will not work, a helicopter often will. With HeliAir, lifts and transport can be carried out even on the most inaccessible sites. The helicopter hovers above the area and can place anything from building materials to machinery with precision, without putting any load on the ground at all. That makes it particularly useful where heavy loads cannot be carried in, or where the ground will not take the weight of a crane.

The advantages of a helicopter lift

No load on the ground: the helicopter puts no weight on streets or surfaces, which makes it ideal for sensitive settings.

Access to difficult sites: it reaches places a truck crane cannot be set up at all, such as narrow courtyards or rooftops.

Efficiency: a helicopter lift is often quicker than working out an alternative solution on the ground.
