Client’s request
Urgent delivery of a helicopter for tourism purposes.
APS solution
The aircraft is a high-tech and high-value cargo that requires reliable fixation and avoidance of any abrupt maneuvers during the carriage.
This helicopter is used in tourism and came to France for restoration. The sender partly disassembled the aircraft, and due to the dismantling of the blades and landing gear it was possible to place the cargo within the dimensions of the trailer. Loading was carried out using a crane beam. Sender’s specialists worked out fixation schemes according to aircraft technical documentation. Since the glazing area of the cabin was large, clamping was prohibited, so independent stretch marks were used to secure the cargo. The helicopter’s tail did not need any additional fixation.
APS has reached new heights in the transportation of aircraft, and the delivered helicopter continues its air tours for tourists in Ukraine.
