Aerial work
Versatile lifting capacity
With the helicopter's superior flight characteristics and an experienced pilot's precision, lifts can be carried out quickly and efficiently – even in places that are otherwise hard to reach or completely inaccessible. The helicopter suits a wide range of lifting tasks, from transporting building materials, wells and hot tubs in archipelago settings to advanced lifts of glass facades, HVAC plants and prefabricated wall elements in dense urban environments.
In many cases, helicopter lifts are a more efficient alternative to ground-based lifting solutions such as mobile cranes. The helicopter can quickly reach the work site, perform the lift and leave the area in significantly less time. The result is often a lower total cost, higher precision and minimal impact on the surroundings.
Simplify the work – reduce the cost
Choosing helicopter operations removes many of the practical and administrative challenges of traditional lifting methods. The need to close streets, apply for permits and reinforce basements, culverts or underground car parks is minimised – or eliminated entirely.
The result is faster execution, fewer disruptions and a smoother process for everyone involved. We offer tailored helicopter solutions for demanding lifts and help you complete your project efficiently, safely and with the highest precision.

Frequently asked questions
External helicopter loads are an effective way to reach places inaccessible to ground-based vehicles. With Arlanda Helicopter AB you can easily transport materials such as building materials, equipment or supplies to remote locations, mountainous areas or forest terrain where ground transport is limited.
Using external helicopter loads brings several advantages over ground transport. You get faster delivery to remote sites with no need to build access roads or tracks, reduced impact on sensitive environments and precise placement on site.
Arlanda Helicopter AB offers specialised external load services with modern helicopters and experienced pilots. We tailor the solution to your needs and deliver safely and efficiently even to the most inaccessible locations. Contact us today to plan your transport and discover the benefits of helicopter operations.
Lifting capacity depends on several factors such as helicopter type, temperature, altitude, distance and weather. Under favourable conditions our Airbus H125 (AS350 B3e) can lift up to around 1,300 kg as an external load. We always make a careful pre-flight assessment to determine the maximum safe load weight.
We transport building materials, roofing materials, ventilation units, masts, backup power equipment, tools, containers, machinery and other equipment that needs to reach hard-to-access places. Get in touch to discuss your specific project.
We start by analysing the load, the location and the route. We then plan lift points, safety zones and flight paths. Our team makes sure the mission is carried out efficiently and with the highest focus on safety.
Yes, we can carry out lifts in both urban and remote environments. Every mission requires an individual assessment of safety, permits, surroundings and any restrictions in the area.
Helicopter lifts are especially valuable when ground access is missing, when large distances need to be bridged or when the project requires fast delivery without building temporary roads. It often saves both time and cost in complex projects.
The time required varies with the scope of the project, but helicopter lifts are often significantly faster than traditional transport solutions. Many missions can be completed in a few hours instead of several days.
