Rescue Hoists
HS-16600
Capable of lifting 300 lb (136 kg), the HS-16600 is an excellent backup system to enhance the capability of military and civilian search and rescue helicopters equipped with heavy-duty hoists. The most compact and lowest-weight equipment of its kind, the hoist can be transported in a carrying case and used to enhance the operational capability of light single-engine helicopters.
Older configurations of this hoist series, the BL-16600-110 and -120, can be field upgraded to the current configurations -170 and -180 by installing our KT-165 upgrade kit.
