Helicopter lift services have played an important role in supporting Jacksonville’s residents, businesses, and infrastructure for many years. From placing panels and communication towers atop high-rise buildings such as the Wells Fargo Center to providing critical assistance during emergencies like Hurricane Irma and the West Mims Fire, helicopters have proven to be a vital resource when time and access are critical.

These aircraft are capable of transporting and precisely positioning heavy loads in locations that are otherwise difficult to reach. For example, a Sikorsky Skycrane was recently used along the St. Johns River to move a large transformer into place. Helicopter lifts also bring efficiency to a wide range of other projects by reducing the time, labor, and costs associated with moving or installing heavy equipment.

Beyond heavy lifting, helicopters also serve specialized roles in regional projects and community support. They have assisted linemen working on transmission lines near the St. Simons Causeway and have even been considered for mosquito control operations, such as the aerial spraying proposals introduced in July 2017. Jacksonville helicopter lift services continue to stand out as a versatile, dependable, and cost-effective solution that enables professionals to focus on their work while the aerial logistics are handled safely and efficiently.
