Trailers Used To Transport Helicopters
Helicopters can be transported on various trailers, depending on what’s necessary. Some helicopter transport trailers have a retractable tarp system with built-in cradles that fit various helicopter landing gear configurations, including attachments for storing removable components like blades.
Our step deck version of helicopter shipping trailers is perfect for small or low-profile rotary-wing aircraft. The drop deck helps us to ship helicopters at a lower height to avoid overhead obstructions and ensure the stability of the cargo. Our dispatch and logistics team carefully loads your helicopter consignment and hauls it safely to your destination. We use advanced equipment and machinery industry standards graded and certified to handle your helicopter transport.
We also use expandable double-drop trailers convenient for transporting helicopters whose heights exceed 10′ on the ground. These trailers are 48 long when collapsed and 70′ when expanded. This helps us to ship over dimensional helicopters even in states that are overly restrictive of over-height cargo.
In addition to our specialized low-bed or low-boy trailers with landing gear cradles to accommodate over-dimensional and overweight aircraft, we have the most experienced drivers to handle helicopter trucking services.
