Fin Spar Repair
Global Helicopter is the leading supplier of replacment tailboom spars for the Bell UH-1H. These spars comply with the latest Airworthiness Directive for these helicopters. As a Global dealer, we can sell you the spar kit so that you can install it or we can install it for you in our facility.

Dual Cargo Hook HEC System
The HEC system was designed and tested to meet the FAA requirements for Human External Cargo, generally seen in the helicopter industry for powerline maintenance or construction services. This system offers 714 LB HEC lifting capacity or 2,000 LB non-HEC capacity with releases arranged to allow only one hook to open at a time.
Cargo Hook Swivels
The Model 3006-1 swivel is designed to virtually eliminate kinking and twisting of the “longline” due to load spin. The swivel allows the load to spin independently from the longline, while maintaining electrical continuity to the cargo hook or other electrically operated device being used.
Synthetic Long Lines
For those in the external load business, we can help with these modern long lines. Available with or without protective cover made of Rugged Cordura™ upper cover, with a clear vinyl window for easy splice inspection.
