The helicopter is an important tool in today’s world, with many and diverse roles. At Rotor & Wing Maintenance, we have worked closely with operators to develop a range of practical, rugged equipment to extend the range of roles your helicopter can fill. Our on-site machining, welding and fabrication facilities allow us to control the quality of our products to the highest standard, and our years of experience ensure our equipment is designed to work, and keep working.

Listed below is our current range of Multi-helicopter equipment. Simply click on the appropriate picture for more information. For helicopter-specific equipment, see our range of modifications.

2 Point Hook 001

2 Point Hook 002

2 Point Multi Hook
The Rotor & Wing 2 point multi hook is a fully tested and rated hook unit with two independently releasable load points. A centrally placed anchor loop allows strops to be retained on the hook unit, by connecting one end of the strop to the anchor, and passing the other end through the load and back to one of the hooks. Control is provided via a 3 position, sprung to off switch mounted in the cabin. Pushing the switch in one direction releases one hook, and visa versa.

The carousel is designed to be hung on a strop off the aircrafts main cargo hook, and we use and recommend Ultra Ropes strops for this purpose. The entire carousel can be safely jettisoned in an emergency, with a breakaway wiring plug incorporated in the design.

Designed and built in-house, we can guarantee a product that is rugged, functional, easy to maintain, and long lasting.

5 Point Multi Hook
The Rotor & Wing 5 point multi hook is a fully tested and rated hook carousel with 5 independently releasable load points. Control is provided via an intuitive cabin mounted control box, incorporating a rotary switch and release button.  To release a particular load, the rotary switch is simply turned to the position of the desired load point, and the release button then pushed. A sixth, off position is provided to place the unit in a safe mode. Large, clear numbering of the load points is provided to make load selection  a breeze.

The carousel is designed to be hung on a strop off the aircrafts main cargo hook, and we use and recommend Ultra Ropes strops for this purpose. The entire carousel can be safely jettisoned in an emergency, with a breakaway wiring plug incorporated in the design.

Designed and built in-house, we can guarantee a product that is rugged, functional, easy to maintain, and long lasting.

 
The 5 point multi hook is perfectly suited to: positioning strainer posts and batton bundles for fencing, spot loading trees for planting, dropping supplies to ground hunting parties, distributing equipment to ground crews, spreading salt blocks or feed on farms, and much, much more.

9 Point Multi Hook 010

9 Point Multi Hook
The Rotor & Wing 9 point multi hook is a fully tested and rated hook carousel with 9 independently releasable load points. Control is provided via a cabin mounted selector switch and release button. The selector switch activates a mechanical sequencer mounted on the carousel. This has the dual advantages of allowing all 9 hooks to be controlled by only 3 wires, and being impervious to static electricity buildups, which plague electronic systems.  Triggering the selector switch simply advances the sequencer one position. High output LED's mounted on top of the carousel indicate which load point is currently armed, and are easily seen from the cabin. Pressing the release button releases the selected load.  A tenth, off position is provided to place the carousel in a safe mode.

The top frame of the carousel detaches quickly, allowing the entire unit to be transported inside the helicopter when not in use. It will even fit inside the aft cabin of an R44.

The carousel is designed to be hung on a strop off the aircrafts main cargo hook, and we use and recommend Ultra Ropes strops for this purpose. The entire carousel can be safely jettisoned in an emergency, with a breakaway wiring plug incorporated in the design.

Designed and built in-house, we can guarantee a product that is rugged, functional, easy to maintain, and long lasting.

Firefly 001

Firefly 002

Firelighter
Controlled burn offs have long been an invaluable tool in the clearing of paddocks, controlling scrub and fire fighting, and ground fuel reductions. Rotor & Wing’s Firefly fire lighting system makes these operations fast, efficient and above all, safe. By setting the fire from the air, the operator can easily gain an overview of the burn off, fuel can be added to areas where the flame front is slowing, and undesired fires can be spotted quickly and stopped before they become a problem.

The Firefly holds up to 140 litres of flammable petroleum gel which is dispensed via an electric pump and positive shut-off valve. The gel is ignited as it leaves the unit by a high amperage spark.

Control of the unit is provided via a cabin mounted control box with a flow rate dial, and a two position switch on the cyclic to turn on and off the pump and igniter.

The entire unit can be safely jettisoned in an emergency, with a breakaway wiring plug incorporated in the design.

Designed and built in-house, we can provide a product that is rugged, functional, easy to maintain, and long lasting.
