Helicopter Transfer System - Van Halteren Technologies

Streamlining Helicopter Transfer Systems in the Naval Industry

Helicopter transfer systems (HTS)

Van Halteren Technologies, a renowned leader in maritime engineering, has developed and built advanced helicopter transfer systems (HTS) for a wide range of helicopters in the naval industry. These systems, available in winch-and-cable and rail-based designs, ensure safe and efficient transportation of helicopters into and out of hangars, catering to both single and dual hangar ship lay-outs.

Types of Helicopter Transfer Systems

Rail-Based Systems

Our rail-based HTS utilizes a double rail system integrated into the ship's deck structure, providing secure guidance for the towing and steering beams. Inside the rails, rail travellers are connected to wire ropes, driven by winches located within the hangar. This innovative construction offers stability and control during the transfer process, even in challenging conditions with significant ship movement or roll.

Winch-Based Systems

With a proven concept, our winch-based HTS features a 3 or 4 winch system that employs wire ropes running through sheaves attached to the helicopter's strong points. Depending on specific parameters, the appropriate winch solution is chosen. This cost-effective system is suitable for small- to medium-sized helicopters and can be seamlessly installed on existing ships with minimal modifications.
