Erickson Air-Crane grew out of the Erickson family business, which had generations of experience in the timber industry. With the purchase of two S-64 Skycranes in 1971, Erickson Lumber Company expanded into heavy lift helicopter logging and became Erickson Air-Crane. Since that time the company has conducted successful operations in the US Pacific Northwest, Canada, and in the tropical forests of Malaysia and Indonesia. Erickson Air-Crane employs a revolutionary new method of retention harvesting that involves pulling standing tree stems up and out of the forest with no damage to the tree or surrounding area. “Standing Stem Harvesting” involves the S-64 Aircrane using a horizontal grapple to grab the stem where it stands as the Aircrane pulls and snaps the tree off at the pre-cut point.
