Heli-Yacht International is proud to offer our custom manufactured Heli-Skates for
ground handling your helicopter. These skates are designed primarily for yacht based
helicopters when heli-deck space is restricted and access to the tail is limited. Skates
are used in conjunction with your aircraft ground wheels and are placed under the
forward skid tubes for complete mobility of your helicopter. Heli-Skates also make an
excellent addition to your hangar operations and allow for ease of mobility while
reducing work related injuries.
Helicopter landing dollies take up a great deal of room inside of a hangar and also
increase safety related issues while working on the aircraft. No need to hang on
the tail of your helicopter let the helicopter skates take the load off your back.
Why use Heli Skates:
Many heli-decks on yachts are not large enough to allow the tail to be completely
accessible as the tail overhangs the lower decks. This kind of configuration makes for
increased safety risk while trying to reposition the helicopter with the aircraft supplied
wheels. In this case you must have someone at the tail the entire time hanging to pull down
the tail to raise the skids off the deck for ground handling. With Heli Skates you can
either pull the tail down once to position the Skates under the skids or use the aircraft
jacking points to raise the forward skids off the deck to position the skates.
