dont know about there, but they set some refridgeration units on a walmart not to far from here and the contractor said the chopper was 900 per hour. dont know if there was a minimum or what. i would have thought a crane would have been cheaper on that job. lol. maybe the crane couldnt have reached the middle.

  man that is one kick ass pilot.  that bucket came in smoother then some booms ive seen.  waste no time getting out of there either.

take one hellofa crain to do that job'''

Over here in Norway the hourly rate is somewhere around 2000$ with a 300 litre bucket.
But most get a total price for the job because of things like weather and such, so it may vary.
Delivered once to a Huey with almost a 1000 liter bucket, man, the noise of that chopper with a full load was awesome.

wow wow wow

i ment a crane on the walmart job. lol. be a big ass crane to do the one in the video.

Many years ago (20+) it was said that they got $2500 an hour at the ski areas.I'm sure it hasn't went down.

They use crane helicopters up here to set the ski towers, unbelievable pilots and I'm sure it isn't cheap! I pumped a lot of the towers once they were set.{line pump}
