Cost effective construction with aerial cranes
Call 1-866-826-4826 Now
The days of traditional cranes dominating the Durango construction market are coming to a close. Helicopter lifts are being utilized more and more in Colorado as operating costs come down while power and lift capacity continue to increase.
Ground-based cranes face some unfortunate challenges in Colorado such as lacking enough boom to reach the top of a building, limitations on soft or swampy ground, difficulty with positioning in mountainous terrain, and restrictions on operating in environmentally protected areas. Helicopters are often the only alternative for the construction of communications towers, replacement of commercial HVAC units, placement of signage and more in the Durango area.
Heavy lift helicopters also enable project managers to eliminate costly set up time that is required for traditional cranes and many jobs can be completed in a few hours instead of days or even weeks. Newer helicopters fitted with more powerful turbine engines are also surprisingly cost effective especially for jobs coming in under 6000 pounds.
Before you start your next crane project, give the heavy lift team at Durango Helicopter Charters a call and allow us to give you a free same day quote.
when experience matters
Heavy external sling-line lifts are our expertise. We quote and handle the logistics for helicopter lifts on all kinds of construction projects in Colorado and beyond. We know that having the right helicopter and an experienced pilot is crucial to save time and to finish projects under budget. Here are some of the types of projects that we perform here in Colorado.
Helicopter HVAC Lifts in Durango
In urban areas, on top of tall buildings, and on buildings where traditional cranes lack the boom length to reach the proper roof top position, Durango Helicopter Charters offers a quick, affordable solution for HVAC contractors in Colorado. We handle more commercial heating, ventilation, and air conditioning lifts by helicopter than anyone else in the Durango area.
Tower Construction by Helicopter in Colorado
Cost effective communication and transmission tower construction can be achieved by using aerial cranes to lift construction materials, from concrete and tower sections to equipment buildings, instead of having to install expensive roads in harder to access areas of Colorado. With common load limits of 2000 to 6000 pounds, most tower projects can be assembled in a matter of hours. We also have heavy lift helicopter options for larger loads of up to 20,000 pounds.
signage lifts
Placing heavy custom signage into position can be costly and difficult with traditional methods. Call and ask about how a helicopter can help make your job fast and easy.
cargo Transport
Resupply of construction sites in remote areas can be accomplished quickly with the use of a heavy lift helicopter and a high-capacity cargo net.
outsized lifts
While costly & highly in demand, super-heavy helicopters like the Boeing CH-47 Chinook are available for projects that require lifts of as much as 20,000 pounds.
