What Makes A Heliwagon So Special?

The Heliwagon stands out as an essential tool for helicopter operations, providing a unique blend of safety, durability, and functionality. Engineered for light to mid-sized skid helicopters, the Heliwagon is more than just a landing platform; it's a comprehensive solution designed to enhance efficiency and safety. Here’s what makes a Heliwagon so special.


Engineered for Safety and Stability

Safety is paramount in helicopter operations, and the Heliwagon excels in this area. It offers an extremely safe and stable landing platform, ensuring that your helicopter is securely supported. The platform is coated with a thick, tough, non-skid polyurethane liner, which is resistant to fuels, hydraulic fluids, and other caustic chemicals. This ensures that the landing surface remains safe and reliable under various conditions.


Robust and Durable Construction

The Heliwagon is built to withstand harsh environments and heavy use. The heavy-duty powder-coated frame provides robust protection against the elements, while the diamond plate sides add an extra layer of durability. The 16” low vertical landing platform is designed to be both functional and long-lasting, ensuring that your helicopter dolly remains in excellent condition over time.


Advanced Remote Control Capabilities

One of the standout features of the Heliwagon is its advanced remote control capabilities. The FHSS wireless remote control is FCC approved and allows for precise maneuvering, eliminating the need for tugs and tows. This remote control functionality makes it possible to operate the Heliwagon easily in tight areas, offering 360-degree "walkaround" capability for one person operation.


High Load Capacity and Efficiency

The Heliwagon is designed to handle substantial loads, with a weight capacity of up to 9,000 lbs. This makes it suitable for a wide range of helicopter models. Additionally, the onboard charger and commercial-grade batteries ensure over four hours of continuous run time, with a forward speed of 200' per minute. This efficiency allows for quick and reliable movement of helicopters, reducing downtime and increasing operational efficiency.


User-Friendly Design and Features

Ease of use is a critical factor in the design of the Heliwagon. The 17" low profile deck makes it easy to load and unload helicopters, while the tow bar assembly with a 2" receiver hitch provides additional maneuverability. The Heliwagon also features 4 corner LED deck lighting and full wrapped underneath LED lighting, making it easy to monitor and manage even in low-light conditions.


Versatile Power Options

The Heliwagon offers versatile power options to suit various operational needs. It can be plugged into either a 110v or 240v outlet, ensuring that you have the flexibility to use it in different settings. The tether-controlled capability adds an extra layer of convenience, allowing for reliable operation even in areas where wireless control might be challenging.


Eliminates Common Operational Challenges

The Heliwagon is designed to eliminate common challenges in helicopter operations. By removing the need for tugs and tows, it significantly reduces the risk of hanger rash, a common issue caused by moving helicopters in and out of hangars. This not only protects your valuable aircraft but also streamlines the entire process, making it more efficient and less labor-intensive.


Conclusion: The Ultimate Helicopter Dolly

In summary, the Heliwagon is a remarkable tool that offers unparalleled safety, durability, and efficiency for helicopter operations. Its advanced features, robust construction, and user-friendly design make it an indispensable asset for any helicopter operator.
