FlyingBasket FB4
Twice the capacity of the FB3. The FB4 lifts up to 200 kg net to offshore platforms, rooftops and locations where cranes cannot reach. Delivered turn-key by official FlyingBasket dealer Drone Lift.
Drone Lift as a turn-key partner
Buying an FB4 is one thing, deploying it correctly and safely from day one is another. Every hour of downtime or a failed operation costs money. We make sure your team is ready for the heaviest jobs: from hardware and rigging to SORA guidance and flight procedures.
FB4 delivery & configuration
The drone and payload solution (sling/hook, winch or your own payload) are tailored to your use case. Includes basic setup, checks and handover.
Operations manual & procedures
We help you create a clear operational package: workflows, roles, emergency procedures and practical checklists so your organisation can operate consistently.
Specific (SORA) for your organisation
Heavy-lift operations at 200 kg almost always fall outside the Open category. We guide you towards a compliant setup within the Specific category, aligned with your scenario.
Pilots licensed & trained
We ensure pilots have the right foundation and provide FB4-specific training for safe high-capacity cargo operations.
Service, maintenance & support
Preventive maintenance, practical support and advice around deployment. This keeps your operation reliable and predictable.
Go-live support
During the first flights we work alongside your team: briefing, execution, debrief and fine-tuning the workflow. Goal: independent, safe and efficient operations.

Safety & deployability of the FB4
200 kg on a hook: from basket to winch
The FB4 uses a hook/sling setup, allowing you to attach heavy payloads: cargo slings, tooling, large components, or an optional winch for controlled lifting and placement at hard-to-reach locations.
Flight Termination System (FTS)
An FTS ensures controlled termination of the flight within the Ground Risk Buffer. Essential for operations with high lifting capacity.
ADS‑B receiver
Real-time information about nearby air traffic helps prevent airspace conflicts and increases situational awareness during heavy cargo operations.
Propulsion redundancy
Propulsion redundancy provides extra safety under heavy loads: even with a component failure, the drone remains under control.
Direct Remote ID
Direct Remote ID supports transparency within aviation and safety frameworks, mandatory for professional field operations.
Swappable batteries & fast turnaround
With 8 swappable Li‑ion batteries and a charge time of around 1 hour, you can keep planning tight and minimise downtime.
Where the FB4 makes the difference
200 kg of lifting capacity opens doors that other drones cannot reach. Below are the heaviest use cases for which the FB4 is ideally suited.
Heavy turbine components, toolboxes and large parts to platform or turbine with less logistics complexity and shorter lead times.
Place building materials, machine parts and installations at height or in hard-to-reach locations without a crane or lift.
Quickly and accurately deliver sandbags, pumps or emergency supplies to areas that are not accessible by land.
Accessories (optional)
These accessories can be included as options depending on the intended deployment.
For controlled payload release when the situation requires it.
Useful for transport, setup and organised storage of the drone and equipment on site.
For safe attachment and handling of heavy and varied payloads during cargo operations.
