With it's cruise speed of approximately 130Kts and lift capability of more than one ton, the 407 is the ideal machine for application such as; moving larger groups of people, heli-skiing, grappling, drill moves, etc…

From slinging trees to assembling towers, we use 50' to 200' of line.

Utilizing a 60-gallon "Bambi Bucket" for the R44, and up to 200 imp. gallon bucket for the 407 we can make short work of any task. The 407 bucket is equipped with a still well refilling valve which allows ground crew to be more efficient on the hillside. This prevents the pilot from having to change equipment to assist them; therefore more water can be applied on the fire. With its speed and agility, it has the capability to insert double the initial attack crews than the standard light/intermediate helicopter. Another advantage is its
stability for hover exit insertions this make safety our number one concern.

An auxiliary Honda engine powers the tree topper. The pilot presses and releases a switch to control the hydraulic cutting head. In about six seconds, the blade cuts tops up to nine inches in diameter. It allows a production of up to 150 trees an hour depending on the site.

The seeding bucket is equipped with a control switch to open and close the door activated by the pilot. The amount of seed dispensed can be adjusted manually depending on the concentration of the mixture.

The Bell 407 equipped with a grapple can efficiently harvest your wood at a competitive cost per meter. From the hillside to the landing, piling for larger helicopters, creek cleaning in environmentally sensitive areas, and inserting crews on the hillside the Bell 407 is a safe and versatile helicopter. With a 2000lb/turn average, depending on layout of the wood and distance to destination, the 407 can move 40-60 cubic meters an hour. With 50 - 200 ft line capability we can work just about any terrain that Mother Nature can send our way. Our highly trained and well-equipped 407 crews can operate independently or in conjunction with your field personnel.
