Helicopter lifting excellence

Our loading nets are designed to meet the most extreme challenges of civil engineering, acrobatic work and high-mountain operations. Wherever land access stops, our solutions take over to ensure smooth, fast and safe material transport.

  • Load-bearing capacity: operational strength up to 1.4 tonnes/m².

  • Adaptability: Customized design to suit the volume and weight of your goods.

  • Safety in hazardous environments: Total protection of loads and ground crews during refueling or transport of critical equipment.

Maritime safety: Heli-Deck & Anti-slip nets

For your offshore and maritime expeditions, we also supply custom-made Heli-Deck nets. Essential for the safety of landing decks, they ensure :

  • Maximumanti-skidding for the helicopter on contact.

  • Safe transshipment in heavy seas.

  • Increased durability against salt corrosion and UV rays.

Applied standards and directives (Europe)

The use of lifting and helicopter-carrying nets in Europe is strictly regulated. Our products are developed in accordance with the following standards:

1. Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE

This is the framework directive. Our nets are considered as lifting accessories. They are delivered with a CE declaration of conformity, specific marking and instructions.

2. Standard EN 1263-1 & 1263-2 (Safety nets)

Although specific to fall protection, this standard defines test methods and safety requirements for netting, which influence the design of our transport nets.

3. Standard EN 1492-4 (Textile slings - Lifting nets)

This standard specifies the safety requirements for lifting nets made from synthetic fibers, guaranteeing the safety coefficient (generally 7:1 for fibers).

4. Aviation regulations (EASA / JAR)

For Sling Load Operations, our devices facilitate compliance with EASA operational requirements for securing and transporting external loads.

5. CAP 437 (Heli-Deck) standards

Our Heli-Deck nets are designed to meet the recommendations of CAP 437, the internationally recognized standard for the safety of helicopter landing zones at sea.
