Access Without Limits
Cranes need roads, level ground and room to set up. Steep slopes, rooftops, remote ridgelines and congested job sites often leave no space for either. A helicopter on a longline lifts straight up and sets straight down, turning a multi-day ground operation into a matter of hours.
Advantages Over Ground Lifting:
Reach: Deliver loads to mountaintops, rooftops, islands and backcountry sites with no access road.
Accuracy: Vertical reference flying lets our pilots watch the load directly for exact placement.
Efficiency: Complete repeated lifts quickly without moving equipment between set points.
Smaller Footprint: Avoid crane pads, temporary roads and site grading on sensitive ground.
Our Capabilities
FAA Part 133 Certified External Load Operations
Our pilots are trained in precision longline and vertical reference flight, the core skills behind every external load job we fly. For lifts over populated areas, we prepare and file Congested Area Plans (CAP) so work in towns and city centers moves forward safely and in compliance with FAA requirements.
We Handle:
Material and equipment placement, tower and structure setting, remote site supply, rooftop lifts in congested areas, and recovery of loads from difficult terrain.
Operational Range:
Projects across the contiguous U.S. and Alaska, backed by years of remote mountain work in the Cascades.
Who We Serve
General & Specialty Contractors: Keep remote and high-elevation builds supplied without building access roads.
Utilities & Telecom Companies: Set structures, equipment and materials along corridors that ground crews struggle to reach.
Government Agencies: Support city, state and federal projects in parks, wilderness areas and public lands.
Property & Facility Owners: Move heavy equipment onto rooftops and hard-to-reach sites with minimal disruption.
Safety First
Certified Pilots. Planned Lifts. Protected Crews.
HILINE Helicopters Inc brings more than 40 years of flight experience to every longline job. Each lift is planned around the load weight, rigging, site conditions and the people working beneath it.
We manage every detail, including load calculations, rigging inspection, CAP and FAA coordination, ground crew briefings and drop zone control.
