Mighty Machines S03E09 · Reach for the Sky!

Overview

When the job calls for lifting big and heavy objects onto an area where a regular crane can?t reach, like the middle of the roof of a giant warehouse or factory, an AIR CRANE does the job. A Sikorsky helicopter named Gipsy Lady has twin jet engines and very long rotors to manage the heavy weight of the transformers and air conditioning units she flies up and onto the centre of the factory roof.
