Helicopter Fleet
Our Robinson R44 can quickly access steep terrain and difficult areas that ground rigs can’t and have purpose-built spray and bucket gear along with Tracmap GPS technology to ensure precision accuracy. No airstrip is required.
Vehicle Fleet
Supporting our helicopter, we have a fleet including a ute, set up to carry the mixing tank, fuel pumps and equipment, and tow a fuel trailer, two tip trucks equipped with helicopter loading equipment, and a truck & trailer for bulk cartage of lime, fertiliser, and metal.
Our fleet are equipped to pick up bulk fertiliser and nitrogen, and are fully set up for clean, no mess transfers to the helicopter. Save on bagging fee costs by eliminating the need for bags. Our loading system allows our trucks to work of race ways, paddocks, and tight access areas.
Chemical handling & Transportation
At Far North Helicopters, we supply agri-chemicals at competitive rates – eliminating the need for chemical storage facilities, gaining approved handler certifications and disposing of left over chemicals or containers.
