Both Heli Rural helicopters are equipped for versatile external load work, transporting everything from water tanks to construction materials. We deliver to remote sites where conventional landings aren't possible, including bush-covered mountain tops.
Our experienced pilots specialise in precision lifting, placing loads safely and accurately even in challenging terrain. Whether you're managing a construction project, infrastructure development, or any job that demands the strategic placement of materials, we reach the heights and locations that traditional transport can't.
HELICOPTER EXTERNAL LOADS / LONG LINING
Harnessing the capabilities of helicopters emerges as a highly effective and strategic approach in the ongoing battle against frost. Our seasoned pilots, equipped with a wealth of experience, play a pivotal role in executing this method with precision, ensuring that the results achieved are not just satisfactory but optimal.
As the frost-fighting strategy unfolds, the expertise of our pilots becomes a key asset, navigating the challenges posed by fluctuating temperatures and atmospheric conditions to safeguard crops and minimiSe the impact of frost.
Through the seamless coordination of advanced aerial technology and the skilful guidance of our experienced pilots, we stand committed to delivering superior outcomes in the ongoing effort to protect agricultural yields from the detrimental effects of frost.
FROST PROTECTION
Heli Rural’s H500, equipped with precision fire bucket, plays a crucial role in aerial firefighting by efficiently scooping up water from nearby water sources and strategically dropping it onto the flames.
This rapid response and precise water delivery contribute to effective fire control, particularly in challenging and remote terrain where traditional firefighting methods may be limited.
Heli Rural is dedicated to utilising these resources to combat wildfires and protect communities and landscapes from the devastating impacts of uncontrolled fires.

TARGETED PEST CONTROL
Comprehensive aerial pest control tailored to your property, poison baiting, precise trap and gear placement, and aerial shooting or culling. Where deer need removing, we work with you to maximise returns from harvested animals.
Scott's hunting background makes him an ideal pest-control pilot, with a keen eye for game where it shouldn't be. Thermal heat-seeking equipment locates elusive pigs by day, and our shooters are skilled marksmen and farmers, for a practical, cost-effective result.
Heli Rural provides swift and precise surveying solutions using helicopters, ensuring both speed and accuracy in covering expansive land areas.
Whether your goal is to delineate a new construction site or gain comprehensive insights into property boundaries, animal pest populations, or weed density, our services cater to your needs. Whether employing our large helicopter or the smaller counterpart, we are well-equipped to assist in efficiently gathering the survey data you require.
Surveying
Frequently engaged in beacon searches, our team can mobilise first aid-trained staff to offer assistance until a dedicated Westpac Helicopters arrive on the scene.
This proactive approach not only aids those in distress but also helps optimise the resources of Westpac Helicopters, allowing them to respond to other critical calls. We maintain a close collaboration with the Rescue Coordination Centre, ensuring a coordinated and swift response to emergencies.
Remember, in emergencies, always prioritise calling 111, and don't hesitate to utilise your Emergency Locator Device for prompt assistance.
Search & Rescue
Utilising helicopters provides a rapid and efficient method for servicing power lines in rural or challenging terrains, offering an optimal solution for restoring power in remote areas that are otherwise inaccessible due to difficult terrain. Instances of road closures resulting from factors like snow, flooding, or landslides can render power-line roads unsafe or unusable.
Equipped with cutting-edge technology, our helicopters feature a moving map displayed on an iPad, enhancing safety measures. This system allows for the clear marking of all wires, cross wires, and potential hazards, ensuring heightened awareness for both the pilot and crew. Our experienced pilots undergo rigorous training for flying in wire environments and are adept at low-level operations.
The Hughes 500 model helicopter, a widely recognised and utilised aircraft globally, serves as a versatile solution for various power-line maintenance challenges. For inquiries or to explore how our helicopters can address your specific power-line maintenance needs, feel free to contact us.
