DART Helicopter Services has announced that their subsidiary DART Aerospace Ltd., has received FAASA approval of their newly designed Low Profile Basket with an integrated Wrap-Around Step for Bell 205/210/212/214/412/UH-1 Aircraft.
Like DART's original basket, the Low Profile Basket is constructed of stainless steel with a high gloss, white scratch-resistant finish. Both versions of the basket may be installed on either the right or left side of the aircraft and installs using existing aircraft hard points.
DART's Low Profile Basket is designed with a slip resistant flat lid which provides a work platform and gives you easy access to the cargo cabin.
