2 hrsPayload figures are planning figures. Actual available payload on the day is calculated from temperature, elevation, fuel state and working radius, and is confirmed in the load plan before the aircraft launches.
Typical applications
- Structural steel, trusses and bridge beams over live sites
- Chillers, cooling towers and packaged plant to CBD roof decks
- Concrete and steel transmission poles on cropped or wet easements
- Processing plant modules into live industrial facilities
- Tank sections, silos and vessel shells
- Cyclone and flood response where roads are cut
Where it wins
- GOSingle picks between 1,000 kg and 3,600 kg.
- GOTwin-engine performance requirements over built-up areas and water.
- GOJobs where the alternative is a large mobile crane, a road closure or a temporary causeway.
Where it stops
- LIMA 70 m exclusion zone is not achievable on every suburban block; we survey before committing.
- LIMDownwash is significant. Loose roofing, scaffold sheeting and site sheds are secured or removed first.
- LIMLoads above 3,600 kg at radius require a specific performance assessment and may not be approvable.
