Pirate Airlift utilizes a Sikorsky S-58 to carry out lifts. Originally developed for the U.S. Navy, the S-58 was adopted by the other branches of the military and adapted for their missions. It was not equipped with weapons, so it was used for building and hauling applications. This makes it perfectly suited for construction aircrane and industrial helicopter uses

The Sikorsky S-58 has a max load capacity of 3500 pounds, depending on weather conditions. Projects weighing more than this can be broken down into smaller lifts. Often, this option is more economical than getting a larger helicopter. Please call us and discuss the specifics of your job. We will help you find the option that is best for you.
