💡 Did you know?

Helicopter lifting is a service that is still relatively unknown, yet offers significant advantages. It is now establishing itself as an effective alternative to traditional lifting equipment such as cranes. Firstly, this aerial work technique meets very specific requirements: difficult access, unstable terrain, dense urban areas or lack of space to deploy a crane. By overcoming obstacles on the ground, helicopter transport allows heavy and bulky loads to be transported quickly and directly to the site of operation.

Lifting, a method suited to complex construction sites

Helicopter transport, or helicopter lifting, is now used throughout France. This service is particularly effective in mountainous areas, but also for transporting loads from the roofs of buildings in cities to a specific site.

As the aircraft requires little space to manoeuvre, the operation is well suited to environments that are difficult to access, such as industrial areas. This type of lifting is ideal, for example, for installing technical equipment such as air conditioning units on the roofs of buildings. Unlike a crane, which requires complex logistics, a helicopter can be deployed in a matter of minutes without any prior aerial or mechanical assembly.

Héli Événements uses an Écureuil AS 350 B3e/H125 helicopter. Versatile, powerful, and reliable, this aircraft has impressive capabilities. It can lift loads exceeding 1,000 kg, or one ton.

EXAMPLES OF NEEDS

Helicopter lifting: a cost-effective alternative

Helicopter transport is not always more expensive than crane lifting. In fact, the operation time is much shorter. This often results in considerable time savings, meaning that the overall cost of the operation can be equivalent or even lower. Whereas a crane sometimes requires several days of mobilization and installation to lift loads, aerial work can be completed in just a few hours.

The result: less disruption to activities, no blocked roads and, above all, no constraints on the assembly of heavy machinery. With the site optimized, deadlines are reduced.

Helicopter lifting vs. crane lifting: what’s the difference? Which one should you choose?

These two machines use different methods to transport or install loads from one site to another. Cranes are generally suitable for open, accessible areas and sites requiring prolonged operations. Helicopter transport is the best option when the terrain is difficult to access, space is limited, or deadlines are tight. Choosing the right solution for your project will therefore depend on the site configuration, technical constraints, loads, and time available.

Why choose Héli Evènements for helicopter transport?

Are you located in Caen, Deauville, Rouen, or another French city? Contact us for fast and economical lifting services. We make it a point of honor to guarantee maximum safety during all our missions. In addition, our team undergoes continuous training to master helicopter lifting techniques.

Safe and strictly supervised operations

Each of our operations is prepared with the utmost rigor. Before the operation, our team conducts a comprehensive feasibility study:

  • Terrain analysis;
  • Risk assessment;
  • Weather conditions check;
  • Preparation of the mandatory prefectural file (30-day deadline).

On the day of the operation, the equipment is loaded using specific nets, straps, or slings to ensure stable transport during flight. The maneuver is carried out by an experienced pilot who is in constant contact with the ground team. For certain operations, we also provide specific training to employees who will be working on site to ensure the safe transport of loads.

Rigorous organization for every aerial project

Héli Évènement is also committed to ensuring the efficiency of its operations. That is why every helicopter transport operation is planned down to the smallest detail. We work with qualified technicians who are able to adapt the logistics to each situation.

The perimeter is systematically secured and the landing zone is precisely determined. Finally, the necessary safety measures are implemented as soon as the team arrives on site.

What are the advantages of helicopter lifting?

Whatever your project, helicopter transport offers several strategic advantages:

  • Unmatched speed of execution
  • Access to the most complex areas;
  • Limited disruption and traffic congestion;
  • Control over construction deadlines without the need for heavy prior installation;
  • High precision when depositing loads.

This technical solution is therefore particularly useful for construction and renovation companies, network installers, and operators of isolated sites.

Please note: the price of our services depends on several factors. These include the type of load, the distance to be covered and the duration of the operation, the complexity of access, and the number of rotations. Each project is therefore subject to a personalized study and a customized quote.
