Save Time and Money with Aerial HVAC Lifts
Helicopter-assisted HVAC lifts provide a faster, more efficient alternative to traditional crane setups. For commercial and industrial projects, helicopters save time and reduce costs by eliminating the need for ground preparation, street closures, or large staging areas. The result is less disruption and a smoother workflow from start to finish.
At Fair Lifts, we coordinate aerial lift operations using a versatile fleet that includes the Airbus AS-350 B3, Bell 205A-1++, Bell 407HP, and Kaman K-Max. Each aircraft is carefully matched to your project’s specific load requirements and site layout to ensure optimal safety and performance. Our experienced team manages every phase of the lift with precision and attention to detail.
Helicopter lifts can be mobilized and completed in a fraction of the time required for crane assembly and teardown. In many cases, the total cost is also lower, thanks to reduced labor, minimal site impact, and faster project completion.
Precision, Speed, and Access in Every Lift
Helicopter lifts excel in environments where cranes face limitations. They are ideal for:
- High-rise or tall structures where crane setup is slow or restricted.
- Tight or obstructed areas where crane booms cannot reach effectively.
- Remote job sites that lack access roads or stable ground for heavy equipment.
A helicopter can complete ten to fifteen lifts per hour, handling HVAC units from 100 pounds up to 22,000 pounds. This speed can cut project timelines by days or even weeks, especially for multi-unit rooftop installations.
Whether your project calls for a helicopter or a crane, Fair Lifts provides expert guidance to identify the most efficient and cost-effective approach.
Let Fair Lifts Handle Every Detail
When you choose Fair Lifts for your HVAC lift project, our team oversees every aspect from planning to completion. We prepare and file FAA flight plans, organize rigging and crew logistics, and identify the best staging areas. All necessary insurance for the jobsite, crew, and aircraft is arranged in advance, ensuring a smooth and fully compliant process. Before operations begin, the Fair Lifts helicopter lift safety checklist is followed to verify site readiness, rigging integrity, and safe perimeter setup.
Once the helicopter arrives, our crews coordinate load lines, rigging, and equipment to match your project needs. Custom rigging design and fabrication can be provided when required. Helicopters typically complete seven to fifteen lifts per hour, depending on weight and placement, allowing for rapid progress and minimal disruption.
For contractors new to helicopter operations, Fair Lifts offers on-site training, expert support, and full project management. Our goal is to make every lift safe, efficient, and stress-free from start to finish.
