CARGO HOOK KIT AND NET

Cargo hook kit includes many technological improvements over the original Bell equipment. They offer reduced maintenance costs while improving utility and safety. Our cargo hook kits include TALON MC Keeperless Cargo Hook, which has significantly more safety features than other hooks available.
Note:

  • 5VDC back lighting system for C-39 indicator

Benefits

  • 30% Lighter than Original Bell System: Lighter, stronger alloys and parts allow the system to haul maximum weight, while adding minimum load to the airframe.
  • Improved Yoke Design: We've eliminated cracking problems by distributing load stress across multiple parts.
  • High-Impact Bumper Ring: Crack-resistant, 2-piece polymer ring protects both hook and airframe from the stresses of swinging loads.
  • Nickel Plated Carbon Steel Load Beam: We've upgraded the load beam material from stainless steel to nickel plated carbon steel for greater durability. The new load beam is harder and resists wear and tear from frequent use for heavy loads.
  • Power for Suspended Equipment: The 8-channel slip ring supplies power to your suspended equipment.
  • Integrated Onboard Weighing System: Allows pilots to instantly know the exact weight of the cargo on the hook. Reduces the risk of overload airframe stress and helps the pilot make more informed aircraft loading decisions.
  • Keeperless Hook: The keeperless hook handles a wide variety of load ring sizes and styles while eliminating the possibility of losing a load that inadvertently gets past the keeper.
  • The Onboard Advantage: Our cargo hook kits can be installed on new or existing aircraft using standard hand tools. Time between overhauls is five years or 1,000 operating hours for all cargo hooks. And because Onboard Systems maintains a large inventory of cargo hook kits and spare parts, we can usually ship your order out quickly.
  • Increase productivity, safety and accurate external load weight reporting with a digitally-accurate weighing system from Onboard Systems. This load weigh system is designed to integrate seamlessly with cargo hook system for your 204, 205, 212 or 412 helicopter. Lift with confidence every time while safely increasing your average loads and improving operational efficiency.

Benefits

  • Highly Accurate: Digital technology in the weighing systems ensures consistently reliable measurements
  • Safely Lift Higher Average Loads: Ramp up productivity by eliminating guessing games about the weight of your load. When the pilot knows the exact weight being carried, there's no need to err on the side of caution.
  • Includes All Hardware: All necessary hardware for a full installation is included. Comes with the load cell, cockpit indicator, and wiring harness.
  • Improve Customer Relations: Eliminates disputes over weight promised or weight transported. You can report accurate statistics to your customer right away.
  • Reduce Maintenance Costs: Never make load weight miscalculations again. Your pilots will know the load weight every time and greatly reduce repairs from airframe overstress and overload.
  • Digital Readouts in the Cockpit: Provides a clear, backlit, easy-to-read digital weight readout in pounds or kilograms. Easy to operate without increasing pilot workload.
  • Scaleable Analog Output: Built-in 0-5 volt output can be used to feed data to a variety of Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring (HFDM) devices (such as a Hobbs meter, Latitude, or Flightcell data recorder, etc.). Signal can be used to alert the pilot if a load is on the hook, or provide load weight information to a data tracking or GPS system.
  • NVG Backlighting Option:
