Estate and forestry
Support field teams across steep, soft or environmentally sensitive ground.

Remote-site logistics
Cargo drone logistics for estates, mines, water assets, forestry, islands and remote industrial sites across the UK and Europe.
THE ACCESS PROBLEM
Ferries, tracks, gradients, water crossings and environmental restrictions can turn a few kilometres into a full logistics movement. LIFTGRID tests whether a direct aerial leg produces a safer, faster commercial route.
MISSION TYPES
Each example is a route to qualify, not a blanket promise to fly.
Support field teams across steep, soft or environmentally sensitive ground.
Move equipment to reservoirs, treatment assets and isolated pumping locations.
Create short site-specific links where marine access is slow or tide dependent.
Supply mines, quarries and monitoring stations within a controlled operating plan.
TYPICAL CARGO
Every item needs verified mass, dimensions, packaging, lifting points, value and dangerous-goods status.
01Plant and equipment parts
02Monitoring systems
03Tools and field kits
04Packaged project materials
05Environmental supplies
06Priority consumables
Every country and mission requires the applicable operating pathway.
Up to three separate 85 kg dual-battery loads before operational reductions.
Journey time, vehicle hours, access work and delay value are compared.
ROUTE QUALIFICATION
We need enough evidence to test both operational fit and commercial value.
High cost of the final access leg
Controlled sites or landowner support
Known payload and delivery frequency
A workable authority pathway
Reliable communications and emergency access
Origin and destination coordinates
Terrain and access description
Cargo manifest
Desired operating frequency
Local contacts and permissions
SECTOR FAQ
No. European missions require the EASA Specific-category framework and the relevant national authority, local airspace and land permissions.
There is no universal commercial promise. DJI publishes a 12 km test distance at 149.9 kg take-off weight, but usable routes depend on payload, reserve, wind, terrain, communications and authorisation.
Yes, and repeat demand is commercially attractive once the route, cycle time and operating controls have been proven.
