Helicopter Lifting &
Aerial Crane Service

Helispecs can cater for all size lifting operations, whether it be light loads where we can use the Eurocopter AS 350 (Squirrel) which has a external load capacity of 750 kilograms through to larger loads or operations where we have access to the larger Bell UH 1H (Huey) where its lift capacity is 1500 kilograms (1.5 Tonnes).

Helispecs is now being called on a regular basis to complete lifting jobs in and around the Perth Metropolitan area and in most cases it is less expensive, more efficient and the need to close roads for long periods as required when using conventional cranes is eliminated, so completing the task with a helicopter and one of Helispecs experienced and specialist sling load pilot is the most cost-effective solution for your lifting requirements.

Helispecs have lifting solutions for the following plus more:

  • Air conditioning unit installation and removal
  • Concrete pouring
  • Construction materials
  • Water tank positioning
  • Transfer of metal and rock onto walking tracks
  • Transmission /Tower construction, placement and demolition
  • Seismic and drill rig positioning and construction
  • Lifting of air conditioning units and materials onto buildings
  • Housing frames and materials on site

Positioning equipment with helicopters requires experience and expertise. Helispecs pilots are out in the field doing this type of work and similar operations on a daily basis, so you can be confident you are getting the best pilots, crew and equipment to complete the task safely.All rigging is carried out by trained Helispecs staff and certified lifting equipment and all operations carried out have two way communications between helicopter and ground.

In August 2012 Helispecs was called in to lift off the old air conditioning ducting off the Centro building in Rockingham (in the Perth Metropolitan area ) and then the lift and precision placement of the eight new air conditioning units back on to the building. The operation on site was less than 1 hour for this to occur saving the customer the hassle of getting in a 500 ton crane with a 190 foot jib so the A/C units could be positioned into the centre of the building saving tens of thousands of dollars.

In 2009 Helispecs was contracted by the Department of Environment and Conservation to lift all materials on and off Breaksea Island for the Heritage Restoration of the lighthouse cottages.All building materials from timber, cement, windows,roofing iron ,sand tanks,tools and consumables where sling loaded to the island. Helispecs completed 180 hours on this project as a helicopter was the most efficient and cost effective way of completing the operation.

Protecting Our Community

First Fire Fighting Contract in 2008

Our firebombing fleet now consists of two Air Tractor 802's dedicated solely to fire, and one Air Tractor 602 that is utilised for both fire and agriculture. In 2000 our engineering team designed and built advanced fire-fighting retardant delivery systems to meet the scrupulous requirements of the RFS. We have been servicing the RFS above and beyond requirements since. As retardant delivery technology has improved Helispecs have remained pioneers in the industry and in partnership with Trotter Controls we are premiering the first two GEN 3 FRDS in 2019. These electric powered aluminium fire gates are significantly lighter. Advanced computers provide uniform delivery from the start of the drop to the finish
