WHAT IT ME ANS TO BE ERICKSON: TESTED AND TRUSTED

Second-generation logger, Jack Erickson, founded

the company in 1971, leased the first S-64 Aircrane

in 1972, and successfully broadened the company’s

timber harvesting capabilities.

With the purchase of more Aircranes, and the eventual

acquisition of the S-64 Type Certificate, he also

revolutionized the fire-fighting business. During the

past decade, investors purchased the original company,

E R I C K S O N AV I A T I O N | T E S T E D A N D T R U S T E D

as well as acquired Evergreen Helicopters and Air

Amazonia, with the mission to build a diversified

global aerial services company. Erickson leadership is

comprised of aviation industry professionals who have

served other successful international companies. In

addition to a auspicious history and inspired leadership,

we are proud to claim that we have the best crews and

pilots in the industry.

FIREFIGHTING

Erickson’s expert pilots and fleet of specially

equipped Aircranes are deployed seasonally to

wildland fire hotspots around the world. We are at

the ready when forest fires erupt in Greece, Turkey,

Australia, Italy, Canada, and the United States.

Aircranes, armed with 2,650-gallon (10,031-liter)

water tanks, combine the capacity of a fixed-

wing tanker with the accuracy and refill speed

of a helicopter. These Helitankers can drop more

than 25,000 gallons (~95,000 liters) every hour.

E R I C K S O N A V I A T I O N | C O M M E R C I A L A V I A T I O N S E R V I C E S

Our ram scoop hydrofoil attachment refills from

freshwater or saltwater sources in as little as 30

seconds, and the original “Hover Snorkel” design

refills within 45 seconds from freshwater sources as

shallow as 18 inches (46 centimeters). Once the fire

has been extinguished, the Helitanker can deliver

stabilizing hydroseed to jump-start re-vegetation

and prevent erosion. Erickson’s Hydroseed opera-

tions are particularly effective on steep slopes and

inaccessible areas.

TIMBER HARVESTING

Helicopter timber harvesting with the S-64 is a cost-effective method of harvesting

wood, a natural renewable resource. Timber is lifted vertically and flown rather than

skidded across the forest floor. The benefits of this state-of-the-art forest practice

include far less damage to adjacent stands of trees, soil and riparian areas resulting

in a healthier forest environment. In addition, timber harvesting by helicopter

saves substantial costs by minimizing the need for road construction, thus reducing

the cost of falling, loading and hauling the timber.

ENERGY CONSTRUC TION

The precision of our aircraft, the skill of our pilots and

crew, and our experience in the energy industry make

Erickson the world leader in aerial heavy-lift operations

that support power transmission and infrastructure

projects. Our signature Aircrane has a rated lift

capacity of up to 25,000 pounds (11,340 kilograms)

and a unique aft-facing pilot station that allows us to

develop a transmission line construction system that

is cost-competitive with conventional methods.

This system offers major benefits to contractors:

• Strategically located—Our central assembly yards

minimize labor travel time and other inefficiencies and

allow foremen to closely supervise tower assembly.

• Precise tower erection scheduling—We have the

flexibility to change course at a moment’s notice.

• Speed—We’re able to set towers in place quickly.

• Access—We can deliver to remote and mountainous

terrain which is inaccessible to ground-based vehicles.

• Cost—Our bids are often surprisingly cost efficient.

HVAC

The Aircrane is uniquely designed to aid in delivery and

installation of heavy-weight ventilation and air condi-

tioning units onto hard-to-reach roof tops, and we’re

particularly adept at installing commercial HVAC units

atop city high rises. The precision capabilities of the

Aircrane, combined with the skill and experience of our

pilots and crew, has led to the placement of more than

40,000 HVAC units onto skyscrapers, automobile plants,

and aviation hangars across North America and Europe.

Erickson has been extremely successful in the HVAC

aerial heavy-lift arena. It is not uncommon on properly

planned jobs for our crews to place more than 100 roof-

top units in one day.

SPECIALT Y

Erickson’s more unique short-term projects include removing

and reinstalling the Statue of Freedom on top of the United

States Capitol dome, rescuing an endangered rhino from

the jungles of Borneo, moving snow to the Vancouver, B.C.

Olympic grounds, and performing the Sierra Nevada Corporation’s

Dream Chaser program’s first captive carry and test release

flight. No matter the kind of heavy-lift task needed, Erickson

can design a comprehensive plan to get the job done safely

and quickly, while minimizing operating cost.

ENVIRONMENT

At Erickson, we are committed to performing operations in

an eco-friendly nature and reducing or eliminating negative

impact on the environment. Our oil and gas operations

are designed to meet the challenges of making resource

exploration and production compatible with conservation

and sustainability. To minimize impact on the rainforest and

its ecosystem, we often manage remote area operations

without access roads or runways.
