Aerial Helicopter Frost Protection Service

At Helicraft, we know that every frost event puts your crop and your season on the line. With years of experience in agricultural aviation, our qualified pilots deliver fast, effective aerial frost protection across Victoria’s vineyards and orchards. We’re committed to providing our clients with a reliable, cost-effective service that safeguards your harvest when it matters most.
 

Our Commitment to Fighting The Cold

Every frost event poses a critical threat to agricultural communities across Victoria. When temperatures drop and still air creates the perfect conditions for crop-damaging frost, our experienced pilots spring into action with a proven technique that works in harmony with natural weather patterns. Our helicopters utilise the rotor downwash to mix the air around your crops, preventing the early morning frost from settling in.

Our helicopters are on standby for when you need it most!

What Is Aerial Frost Protection?

Our commitment to excellence extends far beyond frost protection. Whether you need our specialised Cherry and Orchard Drying Services or any of our comprehensive Aerial Work solutions, Helicraft approaches every mission with the same unwavering dedication to service quality.

Frost protection isn’t something to leave to chance. By partnering with Helicraft ahead of the season, you’ll have a team of qualified pilots on standby, ready to respond 24/7 when conditions turn. With the right preparation in place, you can be confident your vineyard or orchard is protected during those critical flowering and fruit-setting stages.

When you sign on with Helicraft, you’re securing more than just a helicopter, you’re securing certainty. We give you the confidence that our resources are locked in for the critical 6 week frost window. 

Demand is high and our fleet is committed on a first-come, first-served basis, last-minute bookings simply aren’t possible. Most of our clients return year after year, trusting Helicraft to deliver the same dependable frost protection that has become the foundation of long-term partnerships.

Is Helicopter Frost Protection Safe for My Crops and Property?

Absolutely. Safety is Helicraft's top priority when providing frost protection services across Victoria. Site inspections are always conducted prior to the start of the frost season and our pilots work closely with agriculture management staff to achieve maximum safety.

How Effective Is Helicopter Frost Protection Really?

Helicopter frost protection is widely recognised as one of the most effective solutions for preventing frost damage to agricultural crops worldwide. While no method can provide 100% guarantee against extreme weather events, our experienced pilots have successfully saved countless orchards, vineyards, and crop fields from devastating frost damage.

How Does ‘Rotor Downwash’ Work?

The rotor downwash effectively prevents cold air from settling around your plants during critical flowering and fruit-setting periods, significantly reducing the risk of crop loss. Many of our clients consider our services as essential during the frost season to save harvests.
