Elevate Your Helipad Experience
Heliflex
At Helidex, our commitment to pioneering excellence is epitomized in our flagship offering: the Heliflex 6000 decking planks. Seamlessly merging innovative design with top-tier performance, these proprietary pre-engineered, patented planks are tailored for those who seek the pinnacle in helipad solutions.
A Journey of Innovation
Helidex has a proud heritage of engineering the unique “V” shaped aluminum plank, setting an unparalleled industry standard since its introduction in 1998. With a global footprint spanning over 15 years, the Heliflex series stands as a testament to our unwavering dedication to quality and performance.
Key Features:
- Strength Meets Weight Efficiency: Constructed from marine-grade aluminum alloy, Heliflex planks offer a significant weight advantage, being up to 60% lighter than steel. Weighing in at just 8.3 pounds per square foot (9.1 psf for the 12” Heliflex 6000DL), these planks are recognized as the lightest in the industry.
- Intuitive Design: The tongue and groove design ensures easy installation, making it both user-friendly and time-efficient.
- Friction Perfected: Integrated with a built-in slip resistance surface, there’s no need for an additional anti-slip coating. Our friction coefficient, certified by NLR, stands at an impressive value over 1.0, far exceeding the required CAP 437 coefficient of 0.68.
- Customizability: Available in standard 6005-T5 aluminum or other grades as per client preferences.
- Safety Commitment: Decking planks undergo rigorous fire testing and have been certified by DNV. The Heliflex 6000 CL planks have proven their mettle in a 10-minute burn test under specific loading conditions.
Unrivaled Grip: The surface benefits from cross-knurling applied during the extrusion process, offering added safety and traction.
