I have been approached by some contractors here on the island that are building a hotel. They need to get some (21) aircondition units lifted up on the roof. One is 10.000lbs, the rest 6000lbs and less.
Anyone know of a company with the capabilities, and willing to work in the Caribbean, that I can point these people to?
Suggest you Google "Heavy Lift Helicopters" - you'll find a few there. Nothing based in the Caribbean, of course.

I did. And found a few.
Was just wondering if anyone here had any suggestions as to who might be able to do it.
That 10.000lb unit seems to be what will cause a problem.

Any of these companies should be able to handle a 10000lb lift
