Product Spotlight: Barry Heli-Mulching Cargo-Net – Designed for Helicopter Aerial Mulching

Helicopter Aerial Mulching (hay bombing) is a specialized technique used in land rehabilitation, erosion control, and reforestation, where mulch is applied via helicopter to large, difficult-to-access areas.

The process involves using helicopters equipped with large buckets or slings to distribute mulch, typically a mixture of organic materials like wood chips, straw, or other biodegradable matter. Heli-mulching is particularly useful in rugged terrains, post-wildfire rehabilitation efforts, and areas prone to erosion, where traditional ground-based mulching methods are impractical or impossible due to the terrain.

Barry Heli-Mulching Cargo-Nets are designed to meet the unique demands of aerial mulching operations, ensuring safe, efficient, and reliable transport of materials over the toughest terrains. Whether it's for post-wildfire rehabilitation, erosion control, or large-scale reforestation, this cargo net is built to perform where traditional ground-based methods fall short.

Key Applications:

1. Post-Wildfire Rehabilitation: Helicopter mulching plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and preventing erosion after wildfires. allows for fast and effective delivery of mulch to slopes and remote areas.
2. Slope Stabilization: On steep hillsides and terrains that are difficult to access, our cargo nets provide a reliable way to deliver mulch, protecting against landslides and erosion.
3. Large-Scale Land Restoration: Whether you are working on a reforestation project or rehabilitating degraded land, these cargo-nets can help quickly transport and distribute mulch, facilitating the restoration of natural habitats.
4. Erosion Control: For areas prone to erosion, these cargo-nets allow for precise, aerial mulch application to stabilize soils and prevent runoff, making it ideal for both emergency and planned land restoration efforts.

Key Benefits:

• High-Strength Construction: Made from durable, heavy-duty knotless nylon. Offers a balance of strength and flexibility, ensuring that it can handle heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions.
• Efficient Load Handling: With its open mesh structure, the cargo net allows for easy loading and unloading of mulch materials. Ground crews can quickly prepare loads, while helicopters can efficiently deliver mulch to targeted areas, minimizing operational downtime.
• Optimized for Rugged Terrain: Specially designed for use in remote, steep, or inaccessible areas. Paired with helicopter longlines, it provides the flexibility to transport mulch to challenging locations where ground vehicles cannot reach.
• Enhanced Lanyard Design: The soft-eye splices enable rigging versatility and allow operators to release controlled loads from the remote hook. With proper rigging and usage, the net provides a safe and effective way to transport mulch from staging areas to application sites, without releasing the entire net.
• Built for Versatility: Adaptable to a wide range of mulch materials and load sizes.
• Precision and Control: Offers reliable distribution of mulch to even the most inaccessible areas.
• Durability You Can Trust: Constructed to withstand repeated use in tough conditions.

The Barry Heli-Mulching Cargo-Net is the solution for fast, efficient, and effective mulching operations in rugged landscapes.
