few accidents happened because of it though people cannot simply observe and then drive. It’s just pay attention to helicopter, forget your in car. ---

Is it really cheaper to move an AC unit with a heli instead of a crane? I’ve always seen them installed with a crane, at least on relatively low buildings like the mall. ---

I’ve always seen them installed with a crane, at least on relatively low buildings like the mall. [/quote] Maybe it was near the center of the roof which would require a very large crane. Set-up and other costs of large cranes make them expensive and slow. ---

I wasnt sure but I looked through some company pics and sure enough. We were the ones using the helicopter to lift AC units to the roof. Here are a couple pics that I thought were cool. Normally the units are located in the center where a crane can’t reach and the helicopter can lift each unit in like 10 or 15 minutes. ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria026.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria026.jpg) ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria024.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria024.jpg) ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria010.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria010.jpg) ![http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria002.jpg](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e300/Onefastmonkey/Galleria002.jpg) ---
