This Riverview project involved the helicopter lifting and rooftop placement of multiple mechanical services components for a large distribution warehouse. With modern industrial facilities covering enormous rooftop areas, accessing installation locations quickly and efficiently can present significant logistical challenges for conventional cranes.
Our specialist helicopter lifting team can transport and accurately position equipment directly from the ground staging area to its final rooftop location, eliminating the need for extensive crane movements across the site. Loads can be lifted and positioned every few minutes, allowing large quantities of equipment to be installed in a fraction of the time required using conventional lifting methods.
For projects involving approximately thirty fan units, ductwork sections and condenser units, an operation of this scale can typically be completed in around one and a half hours. The speed, reach and precision of the helicopter crane makes it particularly effective for large commercial rooftops where multiple pieces of HVAC and mechanical equipment need to be distributed across a wide installation area.
Helicopter lifting also reduces the need for large mobile cranes, extended site access requirements and complex repositioning of lifting equipment. This can help construction teams maintain project schedules while minimising disruption to other trades working on site.
The Riverview operation demonstrates the versatility of helicopter crane services for commercial construction, warehouse developments and mechanical services installations, providing a fast and highly efficient method for moving equipment onto large and difficult-to-access rooftops.
