Construction Lifting & Aerial Crane Services

Think helicopters are expensive and not for everyone? Think again! Helicopters can compete with land-based cranes and are often significantly less expensive.

Think of the time savings as well.  With a land based crane, lifting a roof on a large commercial building requires time consuming options that often involve road closings, delivery of the crane, extensive crane set ups for each roof portion and then break-down and departure. 

A helicopter substantially minimizes the time, expense and inconvenience and completes the work promptly.  For example, on a building the size of a Home Depot or Lowe's a helicopter can typically place 20-22 Roof-Top Units on the building in one hour from start to finish.  The cost is almost always cheaper than with land-based cranes too given the time required for crane set ups, positionings and break-downs.

Helicopter CapabilitiesHummingbird Helicopters - Southern Operations operates Sikorsky helicopters for construction lift and external load work.  The Sikorsky S-58E helicopter can reliably lift 3,000 pounds internal/external.  The Sikorsky S-61N helicopter can reliably lift 7,500 pounds internal/external.  Both aircraft are normal category and are not restricted.

What we do:  We supply our own rigging, personnel, radio communications and support vehicles.  We have experience in concrete placement and carry our own 3/4 buckets.  Here are just a few of the construction applications that we have experience in:
