Precision in Motion: Relocating a Helicopter with Expert Care
Precision in Motion: Relocating a Helicopter with Expert Care
At Finch of Bookham, precision and expertise are at the heart of everything we do. Our latest project involved the careful manoeuvring of a helicopter within an army facility—an operation requiring meticulous planning, specialised equipment, and skilled execution. Read on for a step-by-step breakdown of our process, using our machine moving service.
Detaching from the Ceiling
The first stage involved carefully disconnecting the helicopter from its overhead mounting, ensuring structural integrity and safety throughout.
Lowering with Precision
Using controlled descent techniques, we safely brought the helicopter down to a manageable height.
Strategic Movement
A combination of the Star 10 lift and a forklift with a chain was employed to manoeuvre the helicopter efficiently and securely into its new position.
Reconfiguring the Ceiling Connection
Once positioned, adjustments were made to the ceiling attachment points to accommodate the new location.
Lifting & Securing
The final stage involved carefully raising the helicopter and securing it in its new position, ensuring it was perfectly aligned and safely fastened.
This operation highlights the expertise, adaptability, and problem-solving skills that Finch of Bookham brings to every specialist machinery moving task. Whether it’s helicopters, heavy machinery, or sensitive equipment, our team ensures every move is executed with precision and care.
