ROBINSON HELICOPTER’S CARGO HOOK TO DEBUT AT HELI-EXPO 2018

Torrance, CA — Robinson’s R66 cargo hook installation will be on display at this year’s Heli-Expo
February 27th through March 1st in Las Vegas, NV. The optional cargo hook carries external loads up to 1200 lb and, for external load operations, the R66’s maximum gross weight increases from 2700lb to 2900 lb.

Two installations of the hook are available: 

Basic – includes the cargo hook and right-seat controls allowing operations from the pilot seat
only. MSRP $12,800.

Advanced – includes the cargo hook, right and left-seat controls, a left-seat hydraulic switch, and
a left-seat start button. A load weight gauge and a second set of engine power gauges (torque
and gas temperature) are located in the left door sill allowing the pilot to monitor engine
operations while keeping an eye on the external load. Provisions for remote control of external
equipment (e.g., long line hook or a water dropping bucket) are also included. MSRP $28,000.
Robinson is now accepting orders for cargo hook installations on new R66 aircraft.
