Settele Transport-Buckets

Developed together with experienced transport pilots

Due to the high demand of helicopter transport pilots for a light, reliable and kerosene-saving variant for the transport of filling material, the Settele Transport Buckets were developed. Settele Engineering stands for many years of expertise in innovative aerospace product development and production.

Safe and stable in lightweight aluminum construction

The Settele Transport buckets have a previously unrivaled low dead weight from 45 kg and a capacity of 1 to 2.6 tons. Despite the low weight, high stability is ensured by an extremely high-quality welded aluminum construction. Thanks to the modular design, the base version of the Settele Transport buckets with a filling volume of 0.31 m³ or 0.63 m³ can be expanded to 0.43 m³ or 0.75 m³ and adapted to meet your requirements. The Settele Transport Bucket can optionally be coated in the desired color.

EXPANSION MODULE

The filling volume of the Settele transport buckets can be extended by 0.12 m³ using a ballast ring. This applies to all basic variants. On request, the standard chain suspension is replaced by a trapezoidal suspension. The trapeze suspension is not compatible with the ballast ring.
