Since 1980 McMahon Helicopters has provided automakers and suppliers with unparalleled door-to-door production part delivery services in Detroit, Michigan, across the Midwest and lower Ontario, Canada. From VIN numbers to bumpers, McMahon has carried just about every component that goes into vehicles today.

Why do Automotive Companies use Helicopters?

Time is critical when running an assembly line because time is money. If just one vehicle component is missing, assembly line workers, machines, and more importantly, the product, will stand at idle. The helicopter allows companies to fly their badly needed components direct. This almost always eliminates the ground transportation time to and from the airport, not to mention two additional on and off loading processes. Though jet and turboprop airplanes can fly several times faster than helicopters, the helicopter is still able to deliver faster door-to-door timing within about 300 miles.

Capabilities

McMahon has three different sizes of aircraft to meet the shipper's requirements. Shipments can range from one tiny box to as large as 3 standard size skids of pallets and up to 3,500 lbs. Flying at an average speed of 120 to 140 mph the helicopters cover a lot of ground very quickly.
