The optional accessories list includes a 2,000 lb cargo hook. That's the same capability as the 206L-4 LongRanger, and compares to 1,500 lb for the 206B-3 JetRanger.

Yes I've seen that. Doesn't tell much of what it could do in the real world. There's also a bit conflicting information from Bell about hook's limitations, in a downloadable "data brochure" they say 1500lbs hook but "product specification" pdf says 2000lbs... I'd say even 1500 lbs on a normal day, even at sea level, with some fuel, staying within aircraft weight limits would be pretty good. Actually very good.
