Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment

Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment Australian design & manufacturing company specialising in Aerial Firefighting Suppression systems.

Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment is a Rotary Aerial Firefighting specialist, aerial firefighting design and manufacturing company located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Every Helitak tank is custom built and has a carrying capacity that ranges from 250 to 2645 gallons (945 to 10,000 litres) of water and the carbon fibre design means there are no structural modifications required to

the aircraft. Refill time is also kept to a minimum using the Helitak-manufactured Hover Pumps (HP) which provide a refill time of less than 30 seconds for the HP2000 on the smaller tanks and less than 50 seconds for the HP6000 on the Black Hawk and Super Puma tanks. The innovative design and technology behind Helitak’s expandable water tank quickly drew attention from all over the world and in 2009 The Helitak Fire Tank was featured on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “New Inventors Program”, earning the winning design and ‘People’s Choice’ awards. In October 2020, Helitak Fire Fighting Equipment added another trophy to their stable taking home a national award at the Australian Technologies Competition, which is aimed at identifying and accelerating “Australia’s best ‘deep tech’ scaleups”.

Sometimes we get to work on some cool projects. And this one was pretty cool!!
Helitak worked with the team at HeavyD Sparks to design and build a snowmobile rack for his UH60 Blackhawk.
Watch it in action. Huge thanks to the Helitak team for thinking outside the box and taking a simple idea designing then building it in a matter weeks.
