The Heliporter from Paravion® allows one person to easily transport a small to medium size helicopter safely and efficiently on the ground.
(additional pictures and training videos are located at the bottom of the page)
Four models of Heliporters are available which range in capacity from 1500 lbs. to 12,000 lbs., accommodating most light and medium-duty helicopters. Heliporters utilize either a 12-volt or 24-volt system to drive a hydraulic pump which in-turn drives either a hydraulic actuator to lift and lower the helicopter, or a hydraulic motor to provide forward and reverse motion. The hydraulic system allows for smooth and easy operation into tight areas. Heliporters are built to last and provided in a safety yellow powder coat finish (custom colors are available on request at additional cost).
For those helicopter operations that have non-standard requirements, Paravion Technology, Inc. can develop and build custom units to fit specific applications. Please feel free to contact a Paravion representative to discuss your specific Heliporter needs.
NEW to the Heliporter product line is the introduction of redesigned polymer coated stainless steel cross tube saddles.
These stainless steel saddles are larger and easier to align to the cross tubes. A polymer contact surface is applied using a molding process that permanently adheres the specially produced polymer to the metal. The result is complete coverage of the upper metal portion of the saddle assembly preventing any possible metal contact with the aircraft during normal use. The polymer surface is highly durable and has an elastic characteristic providing a cushioned surface for the cross tube to ride on.
The improved saddle assemblies are now standard equipment on most Heliporters utilizing the saddle configuration. They are also available as replacement saddles for Heliporters already in service at only $175 each and come with a five year replacement warrantey against failure to include excessive wear.

Notes:
- The dash numbers shown above refer to the HP-6000-XX part number of the lift adapter kit for the standard series Heliporters (not the X-Series) that is required for a particular aircraft. For example, the part number of the lift adapter kit required for the Bell 407 on high skid gear is HP-6000-14.
- The Heliporter X-Series skid lift top frame replacement is available for units that are already in service (P/N HP-X).
