Heavy Lift Solutions for New York's Most Challenging Projects
When critical infrastructure projects in Albany demand precision, speed, and heavy-lift capability, Helicopters Over Albany delivers. Aerial lifting is the backbone of our operations. We provide dedicated, high-performance aerial crane solutions for the region's most demanding environments, bypassing the limitations of ground-based equipment.
From supporting major mining, oil & gas, and utility projects to assisting traditional crane companies with complex lifts, our team coordinates seamless operations. We utilize seasoned pilots and ground crews who specialize in external load operations, serving as a cost-effective, rapid-deployment alternative to ground-based cranes.
Precision Aerial Crane Solutions: HVAC, Telecom & Utility Support
From complex rooftop HVAC replacements in downtown Albany to remote telecommunication tower construction, our aerial crane services offer unmatched efficiency. Traditional ground cranes often struggle with insufficient reach, road weight restrictions, and costly permit delays. A heavy-lift helicopter bypasses these obstacles entirely, delivering your load exactly where it needs to go - often in a fraction of the time.
- HVAC & Mechanical Systems: We specialize in the precise placement of rooftop units (RTUs), chillers, and ventilation systems, often completing multi-unit lifts in a single morning.
- Infrastructure & Utilities: Trusted support for setting power poles, erecting transmission towers, and transporting pipeline materials across difficult terrain.
- Construction Services: Rapid steel erection, truss placement, and lifting heavy machinery (excavators, skid steers) into sites inaccessible by road.
Why choose an aerial lift? It comes down to ROI. We minimize project downtime by condensing days of crane setup into hours of flight time. With rapid mobilization and zero footprint on the ground, we turn complex logistical challenges into streamlined success stories.
We arrive ready to work, equipped for every aspect of aerial lifting and construction. Whether your project requires precision placement or bulk transport, our heavy lift helicopters carry all necessary certified gear - including long lines, remote hooks, spreader bars, and lightweight aluminum concrete kibbles. By supplying the complete rigging package, we eliminate logistical gaps and ensure that every piece of equipment is compatible, tested, and ready for your specific load.
Safety & Operational Integrity: Mitigating Risk on Every Lift
For mechanical contractors and project managers, we know that safety isn't just a regulatory requirement - it's the critical path to a profitable, on-time project. We treat every lift as a mission-critical operation, adhering to strict FAA and OSHA standards to protect your personnel, efficient timeline, and bottom line.
Rigging & Equipment Assurance
We remove the guesswork from the hook. All lifting gear, strops, and swivels are electronically registered, tagged, and subject to scheduled load-testing to ensure absolute serviceability during critical lifts.
Site-Specific Safety Plans
Every project begins with a comprehensive Job Safety Analysis (JSA). We coordinate with your ground crews to establish clear communication protocols, emergency procedures, and exclusive landing zones (LZ) before a rotor ever turns.
Certified Personnel
Our operations are conducted by Part 133 qualified pilots and supported by certified riggers who understand the dynamics of aerial loads, ensuring stability from pick to placement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Safety and compliance are our top priorities. All of our direct air operators for heavy lift projects hold active and verified FAA Part 133 External Load Certificates, ensuring they are authorized and qualified for extended cargo operations.
Lift capacity is dynamic and dependent on several variables including the specific aircraft model available, ambient temperature, and the altitude of the job site.
