These Helicopters are ideally suited to high volume application work as well as high volume 'Fire bombing' etc.
These machines are fitted with either, 1500 litre spray tanks or 1380-litre 'ISOLAIR' water bombing tanks or SEI Bambi-buckets, up to 1500-litre capacity, depending on the task.
All our machines are fitted with Differential GPS units for precise swath guidance and real time plotting. These units coupled with our spray flow meters provide accurate application of the product. We are able to provide print outs of the treated areas at completion, showing exactly where we have flown and treated.
These machines are also fitted with onboard 'smoke generators' to enable us to monitor wind velocity, and skid mounted mirrors to allow us to keep a view whilst flying our application system.
With a 'safe working load' of 1600 kg's on the hook, they are excellent for heavy lift construction work. Fuel endurance is 3.2 hours

BELL 214 ST 'SUPER TRANSPORTER' - The biggest Bell Helicopter ever made! The 214ST is the ultimate evolution of the Bell UH-1, (204, 205, 212, 412 and 214) family of helicopters. It takes the Bell 214B, which was designed specifically for maximum lift under “hot and high” conditions, to another level of safety and refinement with 2 engines and a refined rotorhead and combining gearbox which gives longer maintenance cycles and the capability to maintain operations under one engine if needed. Seating capacity is increased to 18 (plus pilots) and range is up to 1000km at a speed of 160kts. Internal load capacity is 9m3. Standard fuel capacity is 1,650 litres with aux capacity taking that up to 2,267 litres.
Maximum take-off weight is 7,938kg with max hook slung load of 3,500kg and maximum water capacity of 2,950L with bucket.
