lifted this from helicopterexpress dot com - (within blog). An M-26 'copter can lift up to 44,000 pounds (22 tonnes?)
The benefits of using a construction helicopter for your next project are virtually endless. Suitable for everything from aerial inspections to cargo transfer, their size and efficiency mean they outmaneuver airplanes and outperform traditional ground cranes nearly every time.
Perhaps most important of all, these utility aircraft are fit to lift even your heaviest loads.
But just how much weight can a construction helicopter lift? Light utility helicopters frequently lift between 1,200 and 4,000 pounds. On the other end of the spectrum is the M-26–the world’s largest heavy-lift helicopter–which is capable of transporting up to 44,000 pounds.
