Lifting

Cargo lifts by helicopter

Fast, safe and efficient transport of building materials, machinery and equipment to places where cranes or ground transports fall short.

Lifts from the sky

Efficient material transport to hard-to-reach sites

The helicopter is often the fastest and most cost-efficient solution when material needs to reach places without roads, in difficult terrain or out of reach of a mobile crane. We carry out cargo lifts across Sweden and help companies, contractors and property owners with safe and efficient transports.

The archipelago

Material transport to islands and hard-to-reach places

Helicopter with material over the archipelago

A large share of our work takes place in the Stockholm archipelago, where the helicopter is often the most efficient way to move material. We deliver building materials, equipment and machinery to islands and locations with no road access.

How it works

From quote to completed lift

  1. 01

    Contact and needs analysis

    We walk through the mission, load, location and time frame with you.

  2. 02

    Planning and risk assessment

    Lift points, safety zones and roles are agreed in advance.

  3. 03

    Flight planning

    We plan route, weather, fuel and any permits needed for the lift.

FAQ

Questions about cargo lifts

We can lift practically anything that can be safely rigged for hook suspension – building materials such as roof trusses, glulam, timber and insulation, technical equipment such as heat pumps and ventilation units, machinery, generators, Big Bags and much more. Maximum weight depends on helicopter type, weather and route.

Yes, archipelago transports are one of our most common mission types. We fly materials directly from the mainland to the island and set the load down exactly where it will be used – no jetty, ramp or ferry connection required.

Yes. Heat pumps, cooling units and similar installations are typical lift items – especially when placed on roofs, courtyards or holiday homes in the archipelago where a ground-based crane can't reach.

Yes, Big Bags and bulk sacks of gravel, soil, demolition material or waste are very efficient to move by helicopter. We can deliver material in and take waste out in the same operation.

Every mission starts with a needs analysis, risk assessment and flight plan. We walk through load, lift points, safety zones, weather and on-site communication. When needed we coordinate with ground crews, contractors and authorities.

Most cargo lifts are completed in a few hours. Larger projects with many lifts may take a full working day or more. Helicopter lifts are almost always significantly faster than ground-based alternatives.

Price is mainly driven by route, number of lifts, total flight time, load weight and any need for extra equipment or personnel. We always provide a clear quote after a short needs analysis.

Coverage

We carry out cargo lifts across Sweden

Our operations are based in the Stockholm area, but we work across Sweden. With several helicopters and experienced staff we can mobilise quickly to projects on the mainland, in the mountains or along the coast – from Skåne in the south to Norrbotten in the north.
