HELICOPTERS
For more than two decades, Damon's passion for helicopters has grown steadily.
Damon started manufacturing helicopter grapples many years ago.
Proudly designing and manufacturing the fully hydraulic helicopter grapple, designed for use beneath the Black Hawk, New Zealand's largest heavy-lift helicopter capable of lifting 3 tonnes.
This was the first hydraulic grapple in the world to run beneath a Black Hawk.
Damon's expertise drives the creation of high-quality custom-made grapples, offering a versatile range of grapples for the mighty Black Hawk to the nimble Robinson helicopter.
Additionally, Damon and his team have designed and manufactured slash tines for the Intermediate and Large Grapples, optimized for environmental and council work.
