World’s top aerial firefighting agencies choose Collins Aerospace’s Goodrich rescue hoist:
30 January 2020:Collins Aerospace Systems' newest rescue hoist, the Goodrich 44318 will be equipped in the helicopters of the world's top aerial firefighting agencies.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) and the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) have chosen the hoist for their S-70i FIREHAWK helicopters, while the Santa Barbara County Fire Department (SBCFD) chose the hoist for an HH-60L BLACK HAWK helicopter which is converting to aerial firefighting configuration.
The Goodrich 44318 is Collins Aerospace's latest, most advanced rescue hoist and boasts a number of improvements. It meets regulatory agencies' current requirements for Human External Cargo which means people can stay on the line longer for transport or rescue missions. It features a 600-pound max lift load; and permits operators to continuously rescue multiple victims without a cool-down period. The 44318 is currently in service on several platforms, including the Leonardo AW189, Airbus EC225 and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries UH-60J.
"As FIREHAWK fleets expand, Collins Aerospace is proud that operators continue to equip them with Goodrich rescue hoists," said Nick Demogines, director of business development for Hoist & Winch at Collins Aerospace. "With decades of experience and more than 7,000 airborne hoists throughout the global fleet, Collins is a leader in the helicopter hoist rescue community. We are honored to deliver innovative, reliable solutions to our customers to support their life-saving missions."
