Garden City Helicopters have many years experience in lifting for construction and relocation work.
Helicopters can be widely used for lifting of construction materials, but also for other lifting that may be required. The ability to lift up to 1,000kgs makes it a very effective tool for moving heavy objects across rugged terrain or simply a vertical reference for objects during construction.
Lifting Capabilities and Remote Hook
Garden City Helicopters operates a full set of lifting equipment including a remote hook. All equipment is tested and certified by independent testing agencies. All equipment is provided free of charge. Ground staff are also provided free of charge to assist your own staff and to ensure the operation is conducted safely and efficiently.
Safety
is an inherent part of our culture and has come from years of operating the Air Rescue Service and other commercial operations. Garden City Helicopters has one of the most enviable safety records in helicopter aviation in New Zealand. The vast international experience of our pilots, regular training, familiarity with equipment and extensive and continual exposure to the extreme terrain covered by our operation, ensures our safety record is maintained.
Maintenance
is conducted by our in house engineers, ensuring preventative and on going maintenance programmes are scheduled, monitored and carried out so that they have the least possible effect on the provision of our services. Our engineers are also available for any in-the-field maintenance required.
Credibility
of billing is maintained by auditable reference to hour meters in each helicopter. Garden City Helicopters operates a job card system to ensure transparency in the billing process. This process starts with the recording of flight time from each helicopter's hour meter that operates only on flight time (not on the ground running). This flight time is verified by our clients at the end of each flying assignment and a copy of the job card is given to our client at that point. From there, the same flight time will appear on the final invoice at the agreed charge rate, ensuring our clients are charged exactly for the helicopter flight time utilised.
Pilots
Garden City Helicopters employs six full time pilots and a number of part time pilots as required. All pilots hold night ratings and are instructor rated.
