Heli-Lifting earthmoving equipment into remote and inaccessible sites

Heli-Lifting Excavation Services

Remote Access Solutions with Aerial Equipment Delivery

At DigTight, we make the impossible possible—delivering excavation solutions to remote, rugged, and vehicle-inaccessible sites using helicopter-assisted transport.

By working with specialist heli-lift operators in the Wellington region, we coordinate the safe aerial delivery of our compact excavation machinery directly to your job site. Whether you’re building on a steep hillside, a bush block, or a hard-to-reach coastal property, we bring the tools and expertise to get the job done—no road access needed.

🚛 What We Do

🚁How It Works

For locations with no vehicle access or where ground disturbance must be kept to a minimum, we organise a helicopter to airlift our lightweight diggers and attachments to site.

Once our equipment is in place, our experienced team gets to work—providing the same high-quality, efficient excavation services we’re known for across Wellington and beyond.

Ideal for Projects Such As:

  • Remote bush or forest properties

  • Steep hillside or clifftop builds

  • Island, peninsula, or off-grid sections

  • DOC or conservation areas with no road access

  • Infrastructure or service installations in rugged terrain
