Equipment
A&H Equipment includes the production of all parts and appliances. The working techniques are splicing, winding, rigging, braiding, sewing, riveting, crimping, soldering, screwing and other form-fitting and force-fitting connections. Krzysztof Lukaszewski (LPO) is responsible for the manufacturing division.
Manufacture of components and equipment - it's manual work
The components and equipment are manufactured in Immensee. For a few items, especially those made of steel and molded plastic parts, we work with subcontractors, suppliers and vendors.
Since July 2020 we have our own braider (24-250). The second braider (32-100) went into operation in June 2022. In March 2023, a 16-180 and a 48-100 went into service. Basically everything around the braided or twisted rope is manual work.
Why A&H Equipment?
AirWork & Heliseilerei GmbH (A&H) is a leading manufacturer of innovative and high-quality customer solutions in the field of load handling and lifting gear as well as load securing for helicopters, drones, space and fixed-wing aircraft.
Purchasing parts and equipment from A&H Equipment is an investment in reliability, functionality, compliance and safety.

ANNEX I relevant
AirWork & Heliseilerei GmbH (A&H) is an approved supplier for Airbus NH90 and CH-53 and NATO STANAG registered supplier (SAC17).
The requirements of the primary cargo hook manufacturers are becoming more and more demanding. A&H Engineering has developed a number of very specific fittings. However, we can also select standard fittings according to the requirements.
Special fittings primary and secondary cargo hooks
The secondary load hooks often differ from the primary load hook in terms of type, dimensions and requirements.
Ask us if you are looking for something special.

Multi leg sling
PN: VGH_x_x (WLL_length)
The four-leg sling is attached directly to 4 attachment points (directly in eyes, rings, chains or in round slings). It can also be used in connection with large-volume (hay and straw transports) with a load network. All 4 strands must always be attached. If only 2 lines are used, the payload is halved.

In the EASA world, personal protective equipment against falls from a height, certified in conformity with EU regulation (EU) 2016/425, category III, is known as "simple personnel-carrying device systems" (simple PCDS). Simple PCDS are designed for a maximum of 2 individuals and must be certified either in compliance with the above EU regulation or with one of the European Standards listed in EASA CM-CS-005.
The rescue items (RetM) EN 1498 A rescue triangle "TYRAH AR2" and "TYRAH MIL" are listed in the EASA CM-CS-005 and are also considered simple PCDS (no CE marking).
A&H Engineering develops and designs simple PCDS meeting all requirements of both types of applications, which are then constructed by A&H Equipment. The payload of EN 354:2010 and EN 362:2004 lanyards amounts to >150 kg for 1 individual and > 300 kg for 2 individuals, while always meeting the required safety coefficient of 14 [-] for textile lanyards and 7 [-] for metal components.

Testflight with our droneline
The securing of loads inside aircrafts by means of restraint and fastening belts, lashing straps or nets is a particular challenge. A&H Equipment produces straps and load securing nets able to satisfy the highest requirements (rigidity, performance, dimensional accuracy). For demanding customers.
A&H SafeLink
P/N: A&H SafeLink,
a textile shackle is a special kind of component. Developed for slings and lines that must not have any metal fittings. For example, because highly sensitive measuring probes are flown with it, which detect any metal fitting as a fault.
Performance data coming soon.
Black strap with tensioning device and stud fittings
Strap serving as a connection device, with or without lashing function. Available with a variety of fittings and accessories. Lengths beginning at 6 cm (fittings excluded) up to as long as you required.

A&H Equipment disposes of 4 sewing machines meeting every expectation, from free-hand sewing to precisely reproducible bartack seams for certified lanyards, lashing straps or load securing nets.
Our "Lehner 24-250" old-timer model (from 1967), for example, amongst many other applications, is used to braid the extra-strong cover of the TLP logging longline. We now run 4 weavers.
Sewing machine #1: "Allround"
The good old Pfaff has had its day! It was replaced by the new and powerful Dürkopp-Adler. Bags, coats and more.
Sewing machine 32: the bartacker
The automatic bartacker can sew webbings from 12 to 60 mm and up to 5 layers or 10 mm in total thickness. All EN 354: 2010 lanyards or simple PCDS are sewn with this machine.
Sewing machine #3: the free arm machine
Whether round, narrow, short, high-density or "thick" fabrics, this cylinder-bed sewing machine tackles nearly everything up to 12 mm in thickness – even leather goods.
Sewing machine #4, aka "the bull"
With this machine we can also create "fat" constructions like, for example, multi-layer loops made of different fabrics or lanyards and straps up to 15 mm in thickness.
Braider 16-180
The braider 16-180 has large spools and enables long braiding lengths or special braids. Rami, a natural fiber, is currently clamped.
Opening 30 mm, for constructions up to 20 mm or on request.

Our "Lehner 24-270", originally conceived as a steel braider, is the only machine in our area of operations capable of braiding the monofilament used for the extra-strong cover of the TLP logging LongLine.
Opening 45 - 70, for lines up to d 50 mm
The 32-100 braider
There is no core without a cladding! From 4mm to 30 mm, this guy will do almost anything.
